Yes you get to see them a lot in India. Well I don’t fancy them at all as I saw this a lot growing up there, but tell you what they still look fascinating. And in winter they are so nice to have around ![]()
If you took the back streets of most Indian cities by dusk and early mornings you’d see them around. Coal is very cheap in India and there is plenty to go around. Burning coal for fire gives a very good heat and for a good few hours. Yes lot cheaper than gas too.
I love how this photo turned out. I thought I’d have blown highlights from the heat of the fire and would sure miss the detail on the utensils and surrounds. Prime lenses are always so good to have around!

The lovely Eric Yang has kindly uploaded on this image on his Topaz Adjust examples page. Feel free to have a look through the amazing Topaz plugin renditions there.
I love the colors and multiple details in this photo. I love also that you used the rule of third.
