The place is called Dwapani under Darjeeling district in West Bengal, India. We are enjoying the sunset and suddenly I realize that my co-photographer has gone to the edge of the mountain for a better view to capture. I found that frame very interesting.

Location
This photo was taken from a place called Dawapani under Darjeeling district in West Bengal, India. The place is located exact opposite of Darjeeling town.Time
This was taken during early evening, I was on a leisure walk with the local people who helped me to reach this point and get this heavenly scene.Lighting
This was taken in twilight situation. I love to capture image in dramatic natural light.Equipment
I used Nikon D610 with Nikkor 24-70 mm lens, handheld capture.Inspiration
I love to capture landscape and cityscape. In both the case I always find out a dramatic background and one or two object in the foreground. This object/s can be living or non living. Here in this image you can see the how dramatic the background is with the sky, color, variety of clouds, mountain, the variation of reflected light in the cloud, the rocky foreground with the silhouette human figure and most importantly the white upward cloud just in the middle of foreground and background. I was inspired by all.Editing
Yes I made some brightness, color and contrast adjustment in Photoshop.In my camera bag
Generally I travel with my two camera bodies and two lens. One is Nikon body, which was previously D610 and now it is Z6 along with Nikkor 24-70 lens and other is Canon body, previously it was 600D, now 60D along with Canon 55-250 lens. This help me to capture image from wide to zoom.Feedback
If you love landscaping and city scaping, you need to open your inner eye always, keep your camera ready, set your exposure in such a way so that you get both highlight detail and shadow detail. And one most important thing to do, that is searching of frames. Travelling with a camera or not, seeing frame is very important practice for a photographer and don't go wide, start narrowing your frame with beautiful background and two to three object in the foreground. This practice help you to find more interesting frames to capture.
