Baba Nam Kevalam

A Portuguese car sticker on an Indian car.

'Baba Nam Kevalam' is a mantra that means:
'Everything is an expression of one infinite, loving Consciousness'.

It can be sung as a way to open the heart and focus the mind (see kiirtan) before meditation, or can be internally repeated as a simple meditation technique.

'Ananda Marga' is a global, social service and spiritual organisation that started in India.

And 'Yoga e Meditacao'... I think you can guess.

Ranchi, Jharkhand, India.

Indian Driver and Friends

These Indian-manufactured cars called "HM", are only used as taxis or to drive around officials. so of course there are a lot of them parked around the government buildings in New Delhi, and here I found this guy sitting in one of them waiting for some one or maybe just having a break.
I asked if I could make a photo of him, he said yes, and I just managed to take one photo before all the other drivers who stood nearby came over to see what was going on, I shoot a few while they where standing around, and lucky enough course I ended up selecting one of the photos with them hanging around, cause I very much liked their reflection in the car's window.

This is a HDR made from a single RAW exposure, made hand-held, because there was no time to put up my tripod, because as you might have noticed the door is open and he was kind of getting out of the car, when I asked him to make the picture, and he didn't look like he wanted to sit there all day waiting for me.
I imported the HDR and the original exposure in to Photoshop as layers, and masked his face from the original into the HDR, cause people don't do well in HDR.

Hood ornament.. I forgot of which car. I don't even know the brand any more, if someone can help me.. just write it in the comments.

UPDATE: User "jwvraets" identified this as a Pontiac hood ornament.. thanks!

Lens is an old Pentax SMC-M 100/4 Macro on a Samsung GX-10.

(..yes, I wrote Pentax K-7 at first, mixed up the cams, I had both with me..)

Post-processing with UFRAW und GIMP 2.6

I really do recommend the "big on black" version.. it's on of these photos which starts to shine there.
