(1/15s, f/2.8, ISO100, 200mm)

Mongolia is the last country in the world where the nomadic lifestyle of regular migration to new pastures survived till the 21st century. In the past decades this ancient existence started to disappear at an alarming rate; the photo above commemorates this process. The picture, although shot in 2009 using digital technology, still radiates a historical sensation. Due to the slow shutter speed the movements are a bit blurred, but at the same time the whole photo is well over exposed. This was compensated by a strong darkening effect during RAW processing, which together with zero saturation produced this interesting, archive effect.
