Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on a early winter morning wandering about with my girlfriend on the banks of Lake "Thol" near Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

Time

Its funny how I woke up so early that morning, since I never do, and just randomly decided to take a bike ride to the lake, we reached just before sunrise and I started clicking. Would have been about 6 am

Lighting

Being an industrial area the pollution renders beautiful red colours at sunrise and sunsets near Ahmedabad, and so did happen with this. The haze, and the low light helped create this beautifully lit image, and with a good surprise birdie too

Equipment

This was shot on Canon 1200D, at f/8, 96mm, 1/400s

Inspiration

I was trying to capture the reflection of the sun in the lake along with the migratory birds streaking across the red sky giving the cold wintery scene a peaceful yet romantic feel

Editing

except for some contrast setting the rest of the image is as is, converted from its Raw parent.

In my camera bag

Normally I carry my canon 1200D with 18-55 lens and a cleabing kit

Feedback

Just get up early on a winter morning, look out for haze prediction and explore...
