Behind The Lens

Location

In Tincomalee Eastern Sri Lanka.

Time

Close to noon on a hot day.

Lighting

It was harsh mid day sunlight from a cloud-less sky. I liked the harsh shadows it gave.

Equipment

I had my Canon 7D on a 70-200mm lens and took this hand held.

Inspiration

This was a very different bridge with a unique architecture. I cannot understand why make such a bridge in a remote area. Not many heavy vehicles. I waited until a villager on a cycle appeared for a more attractive composition.

Editing

I shot this in RAW and processed in PS. Converted to B&W and adjusted exposure and sharpening.

In my camera bag

My Canon 5D mark III (now), lenses from wide angle to 400mm, and one macro. Speed light, remote flash trigger, cable release and Lee filter set.

Feedback

Watch-out for the unusual, do not hesitate to take the image even if the lighting is not ideal. In most occasions if shot in RAW processing can give a pleasing result.
