Around 2005, a friend and myself hired a couple of scooters in Udaipur and rode out into the countryside. There were plenty of scenes on and off road, including temples and towns along the way. For most of the trip I used a Canon 5D MKII (maybe even the original 5D as I had both). Lens most used was the original 100-400mm f4.5-5.6. I found it to be an excellent portrait lens. This farmer was not posed but walking towards me. Amazing the equipment they use to get the job done. Pretty much all manual labour out this way apart from the occasional buffalo.
