Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at Kamrangichar, in Old Dhaka, Bangladesh. The place is just beside the river Buriganga.

Time

It was taken on late morning.

Lighting

The place where this photograph was taken was very dark considering the time when it was taken. The 18-140 VR Nikkor lens was used as I had no option due to not having prime lens. I have used hign ISO. Even the shutter speed was slow. It was hard to shoot in low light condition, though I was lucky I have got this shot.

Equipment

This photograph was taken using Nikon D3100 with 18-140mm f-3.5-5.6 lens. No other equipment was used.

Inspiration

The glittering silver color was my main concentration. Due to aluminum dust the hand and other bare parts of body was glittering though it is health hazard. The workers have to work as they have no option to live rather work in worst work condition.

Editing

Yes the photograph was post processed using Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and even topaz plugins. Topaz lens-effects and clarity plug-in were used to get the exposure correction and detail of hand.

In my camera bag

I generally carry a camera which I have, Nikon D3100 with the lens nikkor 18-140 VR. A brush to remove dust from front glass of lens and magic fiber to clean the lens.

Feedback

It would be better to use prime lens with less f-stop (1.4 or 1.8) to get higher shutter speed resulting detail of the subject.
