Burning Sun And A Bird

How & Where It Was Captured:

At the desert of Dalbandin, Pakistan. With iPhone at sunset time which is a golden time for capturing photos due to smooth light from the sun.

Settings:

Ø  Shutter Speed: 1/4000 sec

Ø  f/2.2

Ø  4.15mm

Ø  ISO:  50

I have used manual settings for this shot, mentioned above. I used Snapseed and mobile’s built in editor to edit this photo. I have increased the saturation of the pic and added some grainy effect on it and made the bird darker. After increasing its saturation and increased its structure some lines were showing on the sky so I used smoothing tool to vanish them.

Tip:

If increasing of structure or any other thing causes line in the background or background looks like broken or in night photos background looks like grainy, use smoothing tool to make them right.

Story:

         Photography is all about your photogenic eye, if you want to be a great photographer then make your eyes your camera’s lens and then see the world with them. This is the desert of Dalbandin, Pakistan known as “Sochag Desert” in local language (Balochi). The Governor of Tabuk province of Saudi Arabia, Prince Fahad Bin Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud, who yearly visits to this area for hunting houbara bustard.

 I with my some friend was gone to desert to see some natural beauty and for camping for a night. I still remember that time when I saw a bird circling around us and saw this beautiful burning sun. A thought hit my mind to capture this bird making this amazing sunset its background.  So I placed myself on such location that sun will be in the back of the bird. After getting the right position I waited for the right time and after 20 to 25 minutes i got it and captured my shot successfully. I used burst shots because in such condition we should use that, there will be many chances to get the right shot in burst mode.
