Here are some pictures from my first adventure with my camera in Gaibandha. The district where I am living is called Gaibandha, and this part of the district is the most urban so people call it "Gaibandha City". It's urban in that the market here is quite large, including several multi-level shopping centers and some furniture and appliance stores in addition to the usual fruit and vegetable venders, tea stands, etc. and the houses are fairly densely packed without rice paddies in between them. Pictures of the city part will come soon, hopefully this weekend.
The house where I am staying is at the edge of the more densely populated area and this first set of pictures is from a walk in the opposite direction, away from town, where the scenery starts to look like a typical village almost immediately. Here are a couple of pictures to give you a sense of what the area looks like.
This set of pictures represents my first attempt to get the hang of aperture. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day. You can tell when I got the aperture right in the portraits because the person is crisp and stands out from the blurred background. It's something that's hard to see on the camera screen while you are out shooting but that's very satisfying to see you've gotten right when you get home and upload the pictures to the computer.
Feel free to check out the whole album from that day by clicking on the albums link on the right side of the screen.
