Photochain Happiness Contest: My Entries

revo (60)in #ppc • 6 years ago (edited)

My entries into @photochain's weekly contest. Subject - happiness.

I photographed this young fellow at the Holi Festival in Mathura, India. This photo was taken up on his rooftop, where he and his friends were having a wonderful time throwing cups of coloured water onto the coloured crowds below. This festival is one of the most wonderful things you can experience in India. As long as you are willing to get absolutely covered in coloured powder and liquid. :)

This image is a photo of my daughter from a few years ago at a local caravan park where you could feed the lorikeets and rosellas. She absolutely loved doing this, and to this day has remained a real-life Ace Ventura.. :)

I came across this surfer and his mate on an isolated stretch of beach near my home. They were both doing lots of aerials, and this guy was clearly happy during this one.

And the final one is this happy pooch I photographed on the same beach (another day, though). Dogs absolutely love the beach and surf, and it gives me a lot of happiness to watch them run and play on the beach. :)

Thanks, butt! It was a pretty lucky shot, as usually people are concentrating so hard when they are pulling aerials that their faces look stressed or panicky. But his guy was genuinely really good at aerials. And I found him and his mate on an isolated stretch of beach in the middle of nowhere. It was a real lucky find.

Thanks @photofeed! Yeah, it's one of my favourite shots ever. I also let the kid do a reverse on me. So I stood in front of the wall and he took a photo of me. Nowhere near as good an image. But that was because it had my ugly mug in it... :)

Here's what I looked like (a selfie) after getting absolutely blasted with powder. I looked like I had been beaten with a stick.

Haha! This is awesome. Thanks for the context! Looks like such an interesting day to take pictures. Weren't you worried about your camera getting painted?

Yeah, absolutely. I slapped together a sort of water/powder proof casing (out of a clear plastic bag and gaffer tape), and just tried to keep a good eye out for the sneaky kids who come out of nowhere and drench you while you're not looking. I saw a number of other photographers there had proper professional waterproof covers for their cameras. If I do Holi again I'll definitely get one of them. Much better peace of mind. I was so scared of my camera gear getting wrecked that day that I couldn't really enjoy the experience fully.
