Behind The Lens

Location

some ten kilometre away from Puruliya town, West Bengal, India.

Time

Surprisingly, it a dry winter afternoon when I was moving alone with my Nikon D3100 in my motorcycle some ten kilometre away from Puruliya town, West Bengal, India. Suddenly, the sky became overclouded and chilly gust of air began to flow. There was a spotlight of the Sun ray through cloud which fell on my subject. I stopped the bike and took four shots with my Nikkor 55-200 and one of the images struck my mind which I submitted here. It was taken in 22 December 2012

Lighting

The scenario was wonderful - so everything came naturally

Equipment

Nikon D3100, Nikkor 55-200

Inspiration

It was a time which in India we call 'Godhuli' (the hour of cow leg dust' i.e. just before evening when cattle returns back home. I wanted to showcase the moment to the viewers

Editing

I cropped the unnecessary portions in the foreground

In my camera bag

At that time I could afford the starting DSLR of Nikon D3100, 18-55 mm & 55-200 lenses - which gave me many successful images

Feedback

Purulia is already quite famous among the Indian photographers for her land and people as well as cultural diversity. Everyone from foreign countries are welcome here.
