Poring over the Picture While visiting Nairobi I spent some time wandering the backstreets, scoping out local markets for images. Sometimes we need to use all of our senses to find images and not rely solely on our eyes. In this case, my nose led me to this gregarious street vendor peddling freshly charred bushbuck. I was tempted to sample his fare, but having learned my lesson about food-borne illness less than a year before in India, I decided to pass and settle for some memories instead.
I was in tight quarters, so a 40mm focal length lens on my full-frame body allowed me to capture the scene.
I used a Silver Efex Pro Film preset as a starting point for my adjustments.
Using a guide can help break language barriers while traveling abroad.
I decided to use the food as the main focus for this image.
