My wife came along for the walk, and could not stomach the butchers, so we left early. Siddhartha & I have decided to go again with Jaya Kumar another day, because it is a very interesting and intimate place to photograph. This was the first full scale field trial I was putting my Fuji X-Pro 1 and the 35mm lens to, and IMHO it came out with flying colours, including at a concert in the evening. All shots were taken as 'Fine' quality JPGs.
