Wow... a great shot. Can I ask where was this taken? This reminds me of Papua New Guinea.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this image in Papua New Guinea which is an archipelagic country in Oceania on the Pacific coast, consisting of the east of the island of New Guinea and many islands off the coast (to the west of New Guinea are the two provinces of Papua and West Papua of Indonesia). Papua New Guinea is located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, in an area known as Mélanésie since the early 19th century. The capital of Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby is one of the country's major cities.

Time

I photographed this picture during day time by the festival.

Lighting

Not really. Because many festival activities happened outdoor.

Equipment

I used long zoom lense Nikon 200-500mm. Because the local tribes people and the Danni warriors kept moving and they didn't want the photographers to capture them easily. So I think the best way for me to take this special Danni warriors used my long lense from far away.

Inspiration

Because I have never seen any tribe like Danni warrior in the world. That's why I wanted to take my image very special culture.

Editing

I keep processing my images by Camera Raw, Lightroom and Photoshop normally.

In my camera bag

I am always brining my two camera bodies and few lenses in my bag

Feedback

Keep looking around something amazing, special
