Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Pushakar Fair in Uttar Pradesh of India. Pushakar fair is one of the most popular cultural fairs in India where people for allover India and world come. It is organized in the month of Novenber - December every year. This fair is photographers' delight. Photographers from all across the globe come. Many tourist come to visit. The main attraction is traditional culture, animal trading and business. Here Camels, horses and other domestic animals are traded in 100thusands and more.

Time

This was captured in the early morning.

Lighting

Morning light is very soft and good to capture portraits or any other picture. I was looking for some interesting face to take an advantage of soft light. I got just what I was looking for and clicked.

Equipment

SONY NEX-3 Ver.05, f/5.6, Expo. 1/125, ISO 400. No tripod and flash.

Inspiration

It was too cold in that morning of November. In such a cold the face that was smiling at me from behind his moostache, I could not resist but to click. It was very inspiring shoot.

Editing

The original photo is in color. I converted to black and while. Some contrast in Photoshop.

In my camera bag

I have SONY Alpha 18mm-55mm and Canon Cameras, Lase 55-250mm

Feedback

Go closer to subject but don't intimate. It will be easy if you let the subject know that you are taking their picture. Their permission will make all the difference in their mood and pose. You may want to thank them after taking picture. It will be goo to show them picture in your camera after taking picture. This makes then very happy.
