Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The location is Dubai Miracle Garden. DMG sets a momentous world recognition during the 1st phase of the garden declared as the “Largest Vertical Garden†in the World by the Guinness. This breathtaking garden called “piece of Eden†will continue to stun visitors with millions of blooming flowers having different artistic design each season and remarkable structures.Time
It was taken at 7.27 PM on 14th April 2014. We had gone to this place to show it to my sister in law (model in the picture) who was visiting our place.Lighting
No artificial lighting was used for this. All natural lighting. The head lamp in the garden was having nice lights so did not require any other source of light. No Flash.Equipment
Sony Alpha Nex 5N with 18-55 E-mount lens. Focal length was 26mm. ISO 400. Shutter speed of 1/5 sec (needed to keep it slow so that ISO need not be increased and avoid grainy picture). Aperture of f/4. Hand held.Inspiration
We were walking down the garden and I saw this portion of the garden which was well lit and had amazing colorful flowers. To add an icing on the cake, I had this beautiful lady standing in front of me. And no photographer can resist taking a photo of beauty with nature all in one at the same time :)Editing
NoIn my camera bag
My mirrorless Sony Alpha Nex 5N + 18-55mm Sony E mount lens + 50mm Canon fd lens (with adapter) + camera flash + spare battery + filters + shutter remote. I carry 55-200mm Sony E mount lens, tripod and Grey card sometimes.Feedback
If you are taking a night shot of steady (or almost steady subject), ideally take it on tripod so that you can minimise the ISO (with lower shutter speed) and get tack sharp photos :)
