HAPPY PONGAL Morning.....!!!!

Follow my Photography : https:--www.facebook.com-SidhuPhotoPalace

There will be always an uniqueness behind every Sunrise. When ever i make a trip , mostly i will be focusing on nature's treasurer. In this case , i was really exited by not only the dawn but also with the beautiful foreground which is green paddy ground and amazing mountain structures behind also a water channel looks like a way to the Sun.. Though i knew direction the sunrise and also the Sun was above the horizon but the mountain were blocking the visibility (thanks to my smart phone for showing the exact direction and timing) , i started framing the location before sunrise..

At 6.47am the sun starts showing its visibility slowly , you know at that moment i forget everything for couple of seconds. Then i restored my presence and I started capturing that beautiful moment instantaneously.

Behind The Lens

Location

Country - India State - Tamil Nadu City - Nagercoil

Time

Between 6 AM - 6.30 AM

Lighting

Sure it is worth of sharing about Light. Here my goal is to capture our Primary Light source of its first visibility.

Equipment

Camera - Nikon D3200 Lens - 18-55mm Tripod - Simpex 2400

Inspiration

I am a hardcore fan of Landscape Photography. This was my long term composition, and on that day everything gone as far as my plan. Actually this was my 1st Photograph which was pre composed a day prior. And the result of this Photograph was breath taking also the response from websites. This photograph thought me a lesson "What is Composition"!!

Editing

Yes this is actually HDR processed photograph. I took 4 different exposures to get more dynamic to the image. Because I love dynamics in photograph. I processed in HDR EFEX pro software.

In my camera bag

Now my New Nikon D5300 with Nikkor-18-55mm, Nikkor - 50mm 1.8G, Nikkor - 55-300mm. Accessories - Intervelometer, Filters, Macro closeups, T-Ring.

Feedback

COMPOSITION is more important before you commit in to practice. I am not a Big shot in Photography but I do learnt something which can be shared with you. This photography is one of my oldest Photography..... If you are going to take a Sunrise photograph, Just before a day you hang outside for finding the frame. It takes time, but finding a perfect frame is more important. FRAMING adds beauty to you photograph. Unless you heart finds a suitable place you keep on searching. Once you found a frame just Imagine how will be the Sunrise tomorrow. This definitely increase your creative sense which is more important in photography. If you don't know where the exact point of Sunrise starts, Don't worry, If you have any Smart phones like Android, IPhone or Windows just download Sky Map + app or any other sky chart apps which will be definitely point out the perfect direction of Sunrise origin. With that reference you can start composing your frame. USE TRIPOD for Sharper Image : Keep your ISO Low as Possible : SET your APERTURE in a Sweet Spot of your Lens. All the Best
