Behind The Lens
Location
Somewhere in AR, India.Time
It was 1459 IST.Lighting
As I I'm not that experienced and during trips I don't get much time to tweak the settings. So, normally I use the auto settings. But I stress on the frame and so did I.Equipment
D5300 along with Tamron 16- 300. I use flash scarcely. And this shot did not require it.Inspiration
I was returning after Arunachal Pradesh trip. I saw some nice cloud formation and the hilly hamlet. I captured it from the moving bus. Didn't really intend to capture such strange angle. Came to know it later.Editing
A little like adjusting the brightness, contrast, colour levels etc.In my camera bag
I'm a budget and amateur photographer. All I carry is what I have. Nikon D5300 accompanies me along with Tamron 16- 300 which I use as the general purpose lens and I also carry Nikkor 105 Micro for macro or portrait shots. This one is great for great bokeh.Feedback
One thing I learnt from my experience is that framing is very important, more than some amateur photographers think. And choosing the subject should not look good in reality. Rather we can imagine how it can look through the lens. So, we will have to try and see the outside World like the camera does. Then it will be faster to select or decide the subject and even the ideal frame. And one more thing, when you're in hurry, use auto settings. Modern DSLRs do amazing job even under automatic settings. We don't even have to think about white balance or filters. We can do it in post- processing if needed. The only concern is to keep your hand as much steady as you can. So, always use the viewfinder. And practice to switch fast between AF and MF on your lens without moving your eyes from the viewfinder. That will help a lot when you're in a moving vehicle and suddenly a moderately wide but wonderful landscape is asking you to use the camera. Sometimes, AF will be treacherous when you're moving. That's the time you need to use MF, but very fast.
