Inle Lake is the second largest natural lake in Myanmar. It is situated in the middle of the Nyaungshwe Valley, nestled between two mountain ranges that extend north to south. The lake has a length of 22km and a width of 11km and is 875 metres above sea level. Inle Lake is 35 kilometres away from the nearest airport at Heho, and there are flights to there from both Yangon and Mandalay. The shore and islands of Inle Lake accommodate 17 villages, all of which are on stilts. The lake does not actually have a shoreline, an individual cannot walk around it directly. The water of Inle Lake gets shallow as hyacinths and marsh paddies become dense; the path becomes impassable, and suddenly there is solid land.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this image on Inle Lake in Myanmar. You see, the vast Inle Lake is one of Myanmar's most impressive natural treasures and biggest tourist draws

Time

I captures this picture in the late afternoon before the golden hour would be gone.

Lighting

I photographed this image because the golden hour appeared in the late afternoon so I sat on the boat and kept waiting for right time to take reflection of the daily fishermen life.

Equipment

I didn't use flash and tripod at all. Because the sunlight was so strong. Therefore, I just took this image very normal. But I put my camera so close the water level so that my picture could see different from the others.

Inspiration

The reason I wanted to capture their daily fishermen pictures because the fishermen stood on the small boat just one leg to row and fish. It's just absolutely amazing for me to see their fabulous actions. One more thing is. Instead of rowing boats by hands, this unique technique of one-leg rowing is scarce in many parts of the world. These fishermen catch fish in the vast Inle lake every day, with no luxury facilities but to have simple smile and a peaceful mind. It's believed that you’ll be deeply touched if you come to the Inle Lake.

Editing

I only processed all my images from Lightroom, Photoshop and Camera Raw, nothing special.

In my camera bag

I'm always bringing 2 camera bodies and some of lenses in my bag such as Sigma 12-24mm, 24-120mm, 70-200mm

Feedback

Your image should be something very different from the others. Just in case, If you are planning to travel somewhere. You should read and see more pictures before you go. Keep in your mind what you want to do. Just do it. That's all about it.
