Location
South of Nagpur City, Maharashtra, IndiaTime
6.15 PM just as the sun was settingLighting
Natural light shot. No flash used. I was shooting against the sun as it was setting. I set up my camera low and waited for someone to come into my camera's field of view. I took the shot as soon as the cycle rider covered the sun.Equipment
Canon EOS 650D and Canon 18-55 mm kit lensInspiration
I saw gorgeous sunset clouds, and immediately thought of the village folks returning home after a hard day's work. I wanted to capture such homebound folks on the background of a beautiful sunset.Editing
Yes, I have increased the brightness, played with curves. Did some layer masking to get a little more detail on the road. some dodging on the subject to get more details.In my camera bag
My Canon EOS 650D, three lenses (18-55 mm kit lens, 50 mm 1.4 lens and 75-300 mm lens), a CPL filter, a cable release, an extension tube, a variable ND filter, 3-4 memory cards, a spare battery, a tripod (not inside the bag).Feedback
Look out of cloud formations. a beautiful cloud formation gives a beautiful sunset by bringing more interest in the sky. wait for some foreground interest to come into the frame or search for some other foreground interest. Shoot low to get more of the subject framed against the sky.
