Behind The Lens

Location

This is taken at Bal Samand Lake in Jodhpur , Rajasthan , India

Time

It was taken during evening, almost after sunset

Lighting

This lake is very calm and still as it is almost a private lake of this property. Only birds disturb the waters for fishing and bathing. Lighting was perfect for golden hour shot, I waited a little more and it go really dark. There is a centre podium for birds to rest which is lighted a little dimly and thus with a little tweak could get this effect.

Equipment

Nikon D3100 and 55-300

Inspiration

The serenety , calmness, aloneness of that bird

Editing

Using CS6 - kept bird lighted and water a little darker

In my camera bag

i normally carry very basic set - Camera, 35mm lens, 55-300 lens, Tiffon .9 ND and plastic cover.
