Location

Neer Mahal, as you can see it, is one of the few water houses in India. Neer Mahal, located at Tripura state of India is larger than the famous Jal Mahal, Rajasthan. It was built by Kingdom of Tripura during 1930 to 1938 as a summer palace with the insight of mixed architectural styles. Neer Mahal is located in the middle of Rudrasagar Lake at Melaghar - a 53 kilometer road distance from Tripura's capital Agartala. It's been a popular tourist attraction. From the Rajghat tourists can go to the water palace via motor boat now. The picture I took it was taken from the boat while it was about to reach Neer Mahal.

Time

It was taken in the middle of day in Winter - sunlight was adequate and sky was clear as you can see.

Lighting

I am moving on the boat and was quite near to Neer Mahal, I took the photo only for the reflection of the palace in the water of Rudrasagar Lake.

Equipment

Nikon D3200 with 18-55mm lens. No tripod was used.

Inspiration

The reflection of the water palace amid of clear sky and sunlight made me not to wait and take the snap.

Editing

D3200 has a color production issue - so I did a bit saturation improved with Irfanview.

In my camera bag

I am a mobile snapper, with Redmi Note 4. Occasionally while I am on a tour I carry my Nikon D3200 model with 18-55mm lens which is not great but works well.

Feedback

The picture will take changes at courses of the different seasons - in monsoon the clouds would change the whole scenario, while post monsoon times colorful clouds and sky can offer a better photo in the same set.
