Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in my village in Barisal, Bangladesh.

Time

This is probably one of my favorite image . I remember walking up around 4pm with my camera in the village .I saw the White wagtail bird standing half sunk wood in the still water. I took a good position near the bird so I can take the picture with reflection. This was taken on November 25, 2017.

Lighting

I always prefer to take photos on good lighting position specially in the morning and afternoon.

Equipment

Nikon D300 with Sigma 150-600mm contemporary.

Inspiration

reflection on water

Editing

i did a little bit of color correction and removed the image noise and increased the sharpness.

In my camera bag

I keep a fast aid kit in my bag with camera, zoom lens, and a wide lens, camera cleaning kit, and extra cloth.

Feedback

Just as it is when you photograph any type of subject, you must consider your image composition. Simply put, always mind what is being reflected in the water. Usual subjects that look great in water reflections are forest landscapes, lights of the city skyline at night, mountains, birds, and waterfalls. You’ll have much more creative freedom when working closer to the water and with implanted objects, like beach items placed on shallow waters by the shore. You’ll need to learn how to angle your camera in order to properly frame both the land and water. Landscapes are usually taken with the water reflecting an exact mirror image of the land elements above, so level and elevate your camera until you get equal amounts of the land on both surfaces. Sometimes, you’ll also want to move to the left or right and change your point of view, especially when the lighting presents interesting shadows and highlights. For the best looking water reflections, you’ll want the water to be perfectly still. You can use fast shutter speeds, but it’s still more advisable to shoot when there’s absolutely no wind at all, as it will cause ripples and blur the water surface (thereby ruining the perfect mirror image you were hoping to achieve). Avoid shooting water reflections—or anything, as a general photography rule—during midday under bright sunlight, as this will give you unattractive glares from the sun and harsh shadows. You’re more likely to capture better water reflections early in the morning or late in the day.
