Excellent Photo. I was there at Bikaner this year but missed the Camel Fare by a day. You were very fortunate or maybe you had it all planned. Posted: 02/09/2024 19:36:59
Yes, indeed, it certainly was planned. I very much planned my trip around that festival. It was pretty cool but years ago I went to Pushkar and that was over the top wonderful. Have you ever been there? Posted: 02/13/2024 19:39:18
Nope.I heard about it and also Jaipur literary festival. Posted: 02/24/2024 06:53:58
Great action shot. Surprised the camel isn't breaking through that piece of furniture. Posted: 02/11/2024 17:01:32
Quite an amazing feat! Posted: 02/13/2024 19:39:41
Great capture! You have a good angle to capture the action and the audience in the background. Well done! Posted: 02/13/2024 18:15:00
Thanks! I actually would have liked to have been really close, shooting up or something, but perhaps you can see that there was no way of getting close. I was one of those in the audience surrounding it. Still, it was pretty cool. Posted: 02/13/2024 19:40:45
You captured a good action scene with the camel and its handlers. The audience in the background ensured that this is a public event as opposed to a paid setup just for photographers. Nice work. Posted: 02/18/2024 13:37:26
An interesting phototravel. I wish the person in the red shirt did not overlap the camel.

Nice action shot. I just wish we could see more of the handler's faces. Posted: 02/25/2024 08:50:42
