In the middle of nowhere
There is a lake in Coonoor, surrounded by green hills and subtle chills. :D

Behind The Lens
Location
Ooty. It's a hill station, with a more regional name, Udagamandalam, in South India.Time
It was evening, around, 4 pm.Lighting
The lighting is all natural. It had just rained. The sun was afraid. It just peeped from behind the clouds. The model sits under the roof of a boat. Direct natural light from 4 directions.Equipment
Just a handheld camera.Inspiration
It was chilly. It had just rained. It was a vast water stretch. The boat was a ferry with a startling similarity to the Sikara (The Boat House) in Kashmir. I'd never captured a subject while moving with it. The lake was surrounded on the four sides by hills filled with trees. My friend has amazing hair, which she couldn't quite handle then. She just let it be. And so did I.Editing
It is completely raw. The defocus effect has been created by the camera itself. Sony has a Background Defocus effect.In my camera bag
SONY DSC-HX100V with nothing else.Feedback
Yes. Whenever you face situations like this - a photographer's dilemma of being caught in the middle of 'things' - just let it be. To be more specific, do not use equipments other than your camera which you trust on. The nature has already done that for you. You need not worry. You'll come to know that it is the right time for a click. However, you need not hurry or struggle for a stable environment to be intact throughout the period of photography. Skills are not time-bound. All the best. :D
