Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on the edge of a lane to the village of Fatumnasi, in Timor Tengah Selatan district, Southeast Indonesia, East Indonesia. I photographed it myself, with my first DSLR camera.

Time

I still remember, this photo was taken when our family was on the way to fill the Christmas holiday on December 26, 2009, at 1: 56.30 at noon.

Lighting

In the wide open space of the village about 350 kilometers from Kupang City, I really relied on the lighting of the afternoon sun. I just adjust my position slightly towards the direction of sunlight and the object to take photos.

Equipment

This photo was taken using Canon 400D DSLR Camera; Speed: 1 / 400sec .; f / 5.6; ISO 200; Aperture Priority; Average Metering; Focal lenght: 227,0mm, by hand-held, with no other tools.

Inspiration

I was inspired to take this photo, because in Timor Island, especially in TTS and Kabupaten Kupang districts, the problem of clean water is a scourge that never gets a solution from the government. And, more sadly, for the purposes of clean water in the house, charged to children and women, who must take it for long distances.

Editing

This photo was taken in color mode, I converted it into a black-and-white photo, using Photoshop, by giving a little touch to Level, shadow and exposure, to fix the White Balance.

In my camera bag

I always adjust the needs of the necessary photography equipment in accordance with the condition of places, moments and photos that I have planned. Now I'm using a Canon 5D Mark II DSLR, and it should always take me with a combination of lenses, whether wide, standard and tele (Canon 17-40mm f / 4 L; Canon 24-105mm f / 4 IS L; Tamron SP70- 200mm F / 2.8 G2). while the supporting equipment in the form of flash, and tripod.

Feedback

If any photographer wants to get a picture or moment like this photo, please visit the island of Timor, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia, especially in Kupang and South Central Timor District. You will find many moments similar to this picture. Thanks
