Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture during a "The Golden Triangle"-trip in New Delhi (India).

Time

During the rush hour, we were in a traffic jam. There where a lot of tuktuks (3-wheel local transport vehicle used as a taxi). We were surrounded with tuktuks. But there was only one tuktuk who took my attention. A completely fully loaded tuktuk. The passengers have to use all their arms to gather all the luggage.

Lighting

In Asian big cities, there is a lot of pollution. Due to the polluted air, there is always a kind of veiled light.

Equipment

Nikon D750 + lens 70-200mm

Inspiration

I like to make journalistic pictures with people as a main object. Sometimes you don't need to frame the whole person. Parts of the body (in the picture, the hands), can express sometimes more. I was a kind of surreal moment. A fully packed tuktuk with luggage and you had to look hard to find the people in the vehicle.

Editing

Very frequently, I use the postprocessing software "Intensify"(https://skylum.com/nl/creativekit). I like to use more structure in the picture to accentuate the harshness of the local life. I make a copy of the layer. I adjust the "Intensify"-software on this copy. You have a lot of possibilities to use more structure. Once the adjustment is made, I decrease the transparency of this layer.

In my camera bag

Nikon D750, Lenses 17-24mm, 85mm, 70-200mm, 35-70mm, SB900, radio transmitter to flash off camera,

Feedback

Have attention for details.
