Behind The Lens

Location

while traveling at the eroding banks of the river GANGES, I have taken this photo at the consequence of river JALANGI and the GANGES.

Time

Its 2.55 p.m ( IST)

Lighting

NO.as usual.

Equipment

mobile phone camera

Inspiration

each and every shoot of mine meant a story,a feature,try to write through lenses.its click me my clairvoyance . so its very rare to shoot.

Editing

no i need not.i think concept is greater than technology, if the batter ( conceptual observation) is bitter (poor),the butter ( photo production) must be bitter.

In my camera bag

a camera, mobile phone.

Feedback

make your eyes to see what comes to your sight, remember great artist and writer ABANINDRA NATH TAGORE, who said ,'' i try to write picture.''
