Behind The Lens

Location

I took this image in the North of Vietnam

Time

I captured this picture in very late afternoon.

Lighting

I saw many local people growing rice in the field with good golden lighting by chance while I was moving on the way. Therefore, I had to stop shooting right away. That's the reason why I photographed many shots at the same time.

Equipment

I used Nikon lens 24-120mm for shooting this image without using flash because the light was already pretty good. I did not use tripod because I took their action, NOT shooting landscape with long exposure

Inspiration

This photo inspired me from awesome golden lighting, many people, beautiful landscape and absolutely typical picture of Vietnam in the mountainous area, especially in planting rice season. I mean, all excellent elements are combined together at the same time. In short, I looked for this image for a long time to get right time.

Editing

I'm always using by Lightroom, Camera Raw and Photoshop processing all my images after shooting. Of course, I'm always shooting RAW files in advance very carefully. I don't adjust much Photoshop for my image.

In my camera bag

Usually, I have brought 2 camera bodies and few wide angle lenses in my bag.

Feedback

My practical advice is that you keep looking for subjects you like. When you find it out something you love to capture, just stop to do it and shoot it right away. That's all about it.
