Location
This photo was taken in the gorgeous city of Bundi, India while my wife and I were on a backpacking trip through India.Time
This photo was taken in the late morning, just after breakfast. We went for a walk around the city and one of the first streets we came down, we found this house and admired how much character there was.Lighting
The sun was still coming up at the time and was perfectly lighting up this street, which made all of the colors on these houses really stand out. We couldn't resist grabbing some photos. .Equipment
This was taken with the Canon 60d and a canon 18-200mm lens. We were traveling pretty light at the time, so no tripod or flashes were brought with us. This camera also accompanied us to Thailand, Indonesia, and Cambodia. It suffered some pretty good water damage while on a dive trip in Thailand and i eventually purchased the Canon 6d.Inspiration
Bundi had so much character we found ourselves taking pictures of nearly everything the city had to offer, but when the sun was perfectly lighting up this street and really revealing how amazing all of the colors in this city were, it was a perfect opportunity to capture that.Editing
I darkened the shadows within PS , besides that the photo was cropped and no other edits were done.In my camera bag
Within my camera bag currently I carry a Canon 6d, Canon 24-105L, Canon 50mm 1.8 , Canon 70-300 and a Speedlite 430EXFeedback
Using as much natural light as possible and shooting early morning and in the evening are of course a couple things that I can offer up that have really helped some of my photos stand out. The next thing would be composition. Just capturing the coloring on the buildings would have been enough for me but being able to add some more character to the photo with adding the bicycle really made it a keeper for me and has since been printed off and put on our wall.
