Behind The Lens
Location
This was shot at the Pinnawala elephant orphanage, Sri LankaTime
Full noonLighting
The Sun was bursting with all it's might...the light was almost blinding White and there was not a single spec of cloud in the sky.Equipment
Shot on a Nikon with a Nikkor 18-135mm lens and a polarizing filterInspiration
These elephants were being taken out for a bath in the nearby river...an everyday ritual which attracts a lot of local and tourists. What I found amazing was the quietness and serenity with which the whole process happened. Neither these magnificent animals or the crowd made any noise - as if everyone present there was one with Nature.Editing
Some tweaks with the highlight and shadows and of course converting the shot into B&WIn my camera bag
Nikon bodies, Nikkor 12-24, 35 and a Sigma 70-300VR...circular polarizing filtersFeedback
Every photographer has their unique approach, I guess the magic happens when you find that perspective and the mundane becomes exotic
