Vinaya, I have been impressed by this Indian celebration, but I understand that our photo equipment will be at risk with that amount of color dust in the air. From the color of these women skin, I think the image is a little oversaturated. Image is sharp. Posted: 03/09/2026 09:05:48
Yes, covering Holi is a bit risky for the equipment but still with proper cover, one can capture such a wonderful colourful fest.
Thanks for your observation. I will chk the saturation Posted: 03/11/2026 03:54:42

Crowd at Holi also very crazy. That is one of the toughest aspect to handle with Posted: 03/11/2026 03:56:13
The colors, the flying hair, and the happy expression create a fun image, and for anyone who has heard of Holi, there is an instant feeling of recognition. I agree with Isaac that something about the more visible face doesn't look quite like natural skin. At first look, I thought you might be using a phone camera because I feel that sometimes is how phones handle images. Posted: 03/11/2026 09:27:57
