Location

This photo was taken in Shri Shri Lokenath Brahmachari Ashram temple Dhaka , Bangladesh. I am an Enthusiast Photographer , Based on Dhaka, Bangladesh. Every year thousands of Hindu devotees gather in front of Shri Shri Lokenath Brahmachari Ashram temple for the Kartik Brati or Rakher Upobash religious festival in Barodi, Near Dhaka, Bangladesh. Faithful sit in front of candles light and absorb in prayer...Lokenath who is called Baba Lokenath was an 18th Century Hindu saint and philosopher in Bengal. Hindu worshipers fast and pray in earnest to the gods for their favors during the traditional ritual called Kartik Brati or Rakher Upobash..Lokenath Brahmachari devotees pray with light to save their family and dear from cholera and pox disease

Time

This is one of my Favorite image form this place. It was not easy to take this one , specially place was packed with worshipers and no place to stand still (peoples are always moving and corridor was narrow) and no it was very hard to frame the subject due to low light and movement.I have no idea about this place, check google map and start my journey . wend few different wrong place before i found the correct temple. It was taken in November 5th 2019, at around 7 PM Bangladesh time.

Lighting

Place was dimly lit with overhead florescent light .I use slow shutter speed and high iso to capture the warm candle light on worshipers face.

Equipment

Canon 5Dmk3 and EF24-105 F4 L. @24mm F5 S1/30s

Inspiration

I attracted to the color and mood. I went there another temple couples of years ago . and heard about this place . and decide ill went there some day to capture some moments from the temple.

Editing

No just convert it from canon raw with Photoshop CC, just basic light and shadow adjustment and white balance.

In my camera bag

I usual carry just My canon 5dmk3 with 24-105F4L lens , but in some place i take 70-200 F4 L or 50mm F1.4 USM. Sometime i take ND filter 10 stop with a lightweight carbon fiber tripod for Landscape phtography

Feedback

Take time. If possible check other photographers image and talk with them about the place date and time .
