I shot this image on a late evening in mid April at Kabini back waters. The final image that I that I've presented is what I'd visualized before clicking. Unfortunately the sensor can't capture all that we want yet. So to avoid that I processed the image at two different white balances (one at a cooler color temperature of 5500 and another at 7500). However when I started I wanted to retain the dramatic evening light on the elephant. This would mean that the background forest would also look little off color. Hence I blended the two images to get the desired effect on the image. Perhaps a light meter would have helped get the same effect. But light meter is little low on my wish list now.
Hi Gautham,
ReplyDeleteI do not know much about photography. But I come to check your website blog because it is very relaxing for me to be with nature.
I wish you capture lot of these good ones.
At least you are helping people to relax from their mundane life.
