Behind The Lens

Location

patenga beach, chittagong, bangladesh

Time

sunset

Lighting

as with all photos into the sun, lighting is tricky. I made several attempts prior to the final shot.

Equipment

cannon 1000d with cannon zoom lens 55-250

Inspiration

Bangladesh is known for the red sun. It is pictured on the countries flag. Chittagong is the main port city for the country so the combination of the two seemed like a great combination.

Editing

I did use photoshop to pull back some of the light of the sun and to accent the color of the sky on that particular evening.

In my camera bag

So far, for me, photography has been an expensive hobby that I am getting better at. However, I do not know if it will ever become a source of income. Therefore, I carry several basic items and have a long wish list of other things. The main things I carry are: Cannon 1000d body, Tamron 10-24 lens IS, cannon zoom 55-250 lens IS, cannon 18-55 lens IS, Nissin Di622 Flash. I also have several filters which I keep handy incase it might be necessary.

Feedback

Take your time and wait for the light to be in the 'right' place. Even if you have to return to the same location on multiple days. With this said, whenever possible have your camera ready when a photo opportunity presents itself.
