Camel Regiment of India   by Syed Shakhawat Kamal, QPSA

May 2023 - Camel Regiment of India

About the Image(s)

This is one of the images of an event which took place in PSA PG 2023 in Rajasthan, India in the beginning of the year 2023. PSA and Indian PSA members organized this amazing event for the first time. I participated in the Photo Gathering. One of the events was in the big stadium; where they presented the Camel Regiment of India. Only Camel regiment by any country that I have witnessed. They are very well decorated and well trained. They are trained to withstand the rough environment of the desert.

It was a spectacular event. The camels of the Indian camel regiment have displayed many tactical formations and exercises. I have tons of photographs of the events including videos.

I used my Samsung Galaxy S 22 Ultra mobile phone camera for the images (It was a no-flash compulsory setting. It was done hand held & without gimbal capture) and Photoshop CS6 for editing (to crop, discard out part of the images and used some simple light and color adjustment before submission).

I hope you will enjoy the image and appreciate your feedback on it.

Hi Kamal - I hope that you saw the recent article and accompanying photos in the latest PSA magazine about this first international event in India - perhaps you are in some of the images? The Indian Camel Regiment lined up nicely for you and allowed you to create a lovely composition. The regiment's and camel's decoration is quite colorful and tells a nice story. It is unfortunate, you didn't have a more interesting sky to work with - what an extraordinary event!   Posted: 05/13/2023 23:20:40

Hi Darcy,
Greetings my friend.
Thank you very much for the heads up of the PSA magazine. I will surely get mu regular print subscription and will also see the e magazine as well.
Thank you for your kind feedback and suggestion. Yes my fried the sky was flat and dull. I can consider some cloning of the sky part too.
Stay safe as always.
Cheers.

Hi Syed. This is a very effective image. The composition is a dynamic diagonal and the perspective and color brilliance really makes this an interesting capture. Although the sky is flat and plain, I think this allows the main subject stand out well and I think I prefer it to a more interesting sky. My only suggestion would be to try to eliminate the halo effect around the tops of the figures again the sky. Thanks for sharing this. I always feel like I'm experiencing a new travel experience with your images. Ingrid   Posted: 05/14/2023 15:41:56

Thank you for your comment and feedback. I would keep in mind about the halo effect next time so they can be eliminated. Trust me this will require a lot of skill and patience.
