Behind The Lens

Location

This is taken form a hotel balcony in Peiling, Sikkim, India.

Time

at the beginning of the day, just at the golden hour of dawn the picture was taken.

Lighting

the lighting of this time of the day is usually very very unsuitable for photography. I was waiting a long long time for such a gorgeous sunrise but that day to make it worse, the fog and cloud was badly interrupting the natural light making it even more difficult. I loved the light so I had to go for a shot and eventually lifting the ISO a bit helped. aperture and shutter was moderated because I wanted a crisp shot with not many chances in hand

Equipment

camera : NIKON D5600 NIKKOR 70-300 lens because I had no wide angle lens with me. no tripod.

Inspiration

again the natural beauty is all that can be said. the mesmerising view is more than enough to inspire. another thing is that the cloud which somehow interrupted the light came out to be the most dramatic part of the picture making it more attractive. converting weaknesses into strength is the best thing ever !

Editing

a little soft tuning to the baby light on the snow. decrease the exposure to make it more dramatic and beautiful.

In my camera bag

I go light usually, a prime 50mm really helps but the 70-300 must be there.

Feedback

I always say, it's the feeling, the enthusiasm and love that keeps you going....everything else just comes along.
