Location
This photo was taken in the country side of Sri Lanka. The lady in the image is picking tea leaves.Time
Late morning was beginning to settle as we walked back from a morning hike, and passed by people picking tea leaves.Lighting
The natural sunlight perfectly emphasises the green surrounding the woman.Equipment
Canon EOS- 18-55mm lens- that is all.Inspiration
I love capturing the culture and people when visiting a country. The seven showed here is such a traditional picturesque moment, of this region of Sri Lanka.Editing
Post processing simply involved enhancing the contrast of the image and putting a vignette effect on the image in order to attract attention to the centre point of the photo (the women.)In my camera bag
I simply take my camera with me wherever I go.Feedback
Don't let moments pass. Always have your camera at hand, so when someone looks up and catches the eye of the camera, or the sunlight hits the perfect spot, or two people interact for a second, you can document it before it passes. Whatever the pivotal moment, be ready to capture it.
