Location
This photo was taken during my visit to Pushkar Camel Fair last year. Pushkar is a small city in Rajasthan mainly famous for the Camel fair that is held every year and alao for the hindu temples that are present there.Time
Thia photo was taken during the morning hour of around 9 AM.Lighting
This photo was not really posed and was an instant. I was jaust roaming around the city with my camera strapped to my neck when I suddenly noticed this beautiful lady coming. I was quick to take up my camera and aim at her. But I had to wait for minutes to get her attention and suddenly she looked at me with this smile. I was ready to click several photos as my focus was locked. I was really satisfied with the results.Equipment
I had a 77D body with a 50mm 1.4 lens. No flash, No tripod. It was all natural light.Inspiration
The beauty in her eyes really caught my attention and I was quick to capture the moment.Editing
Yes Post processing was done on the photo. The actual photo was a bit underexposed due to the sun right behind her face. I had to retouch her face to bring the glow and under expose the sky in the post processing. I also did a little bit of dodge and burn on the photo to bring up the details.In my camera bag
I always have a Canon 77D (my only primary camera), 50mm (thats the most I use for all portraits), a 10-18 for wide landscapes and street captures. Other than that I always carry extra memory card, extra battery.Feedback
Always keep your eyes open. There is always something great happening around. You just need to be prepared for your opportunity. Just grab it. ????
