Behind The Lens

Location

This was shot at Mattool beach which is beautiful beach located rurally in Kannur district of Kerala, one of the Indian state. My little brother took me there while i was in Kerala on vacation.

Time

We reached there right after Sunset. Clouds and colors were amazing.

Lighting

Its a long exposure shot. Light was low because sun had already set. The person in photo is my brother. I made him stand still for some seconds and yeah he did well.

Equipment

Camera is Nikon D3200 with Sigma 10-20 mm lens. Tripod was used since its a long exposure shot. No flash was needed and i wanted to keep the photo little bit darker.

Inspiration

Inspiration was that boat seen in the photo. When i saw it placed perfectly towards sea, idea rang in my mind and immediately clicked it. I didnt have much time to plan since sun already disappeared and it was getting darker.

Editing

Yeah. I worked raw file in Lightroom. I didnt want to over do it. So some basic editing like changes in contrast, shadow, highlight and such features.

In my camera bag

Of course camera and lenses. I always carry cleaning kit. A wifi adapter. A light torch.

Feedback

Using objects or props present at the area of shoot will give an extra edge to your photo. Like in this photo i used the boat. Without that boat the photo doesnt have any value. So have a good eye and observe the location, then just use your imagination. Definitely photography is about your imagination of a moment.
