GUWAHATI, India (AP) \u2014 Anupam Nath has been covering Holi, the Hindu festival of colors, in Guwahati in northeastern India for two decades. In that time, he\u2019s mastered navigating the large, vibrant celebrations, which allows him to focus on the small details. In this photo one can even see the colored powder used by revelers on a swarm of bees. Here\u2019s what Nath said about making this extraordinary image:<\/p>\n
I have been covering the Holi festival<\/a>, where hundreds of people gather and celebrate together, since 2004. Every year I try to find at least one interesting face to photograph. This year, I was looking for some interesting people and this person with color smeared on his face suddenly caught my eye. When I saw a swarm of bees attack the man, who appeared drunk and couldn\u2019t find his balance, I knew I had my image. I did not waste time and immediately started clicking. <\/p>\n I climbed up on a stage where a DJ was operating the music system. To protect my gear I stood in an area that was safe from the color and dust. From that spot I also had a better view for framing my photos. I carried two cameras with different lenses. I took this image with my Sony A1 camera with 70-200mm 2.8 lens to get a close and clear frame. It is a full frame which I have not cropped.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE<\/p>\n An AP photographer finds a buzzy photo by focusing on the small details during Holi<\/a><\/p>\n An AP photographer snags an unexpected image of the head of the Catholic Church<\/a><\/p>\n HOW I MADE THIS PHOTO<\/h2>\n
