This was one of my favorite stops that Jim and I took while we were touring Karnataka. Jim, again with his quick eye, said, "stop!" and we pulled over our vehicle and asked these ladies if we could watch what they were doing and take their picture.

It was fascinating watching them thresh the mustard seed. It still makes me wonder how much of their product ends up making overseas.

I cannot remember if I purposely set the aperture that wide or if I left the aperture priority on my camera set like a doofus. If I could go back in do it again I would have just added a touch more depth of field, either by stopping down or stepping back, so I could have got all four women in focus.
