Choosing the right gear while travelling

always makes sense. I carried a Canon

EOS 5D Mark III body along with the

following lenses: Canon 85mm f/1.8,

Canon 24-70mm f/4 L, Tokina 16-

28mm f/2.8 and 10-17mm fisheye.

I did not carry my 70-200mm f/2.8

because of its weight. I also wanted

more of wide-angle shots. On the first

day, I went to Trimbakeshwar where I

met some other photographers and the

talk was mostly around shooting ‘nanga

babas’ at the time of ‘Shahi Snan’. The

idea did not impress me at all. So I

started walking in the narrow lanes

of Trimbakeshwar to take pictures

of the surroundings from different

perspectives. It started raining heavily

and this made it really difficult to get

good shots. So the next day I returned

to Nashik and tried to re-take the

shots that I had missed. I also used

a fisheye lens to create some great

effects, and at the same time, I also

used a Neutral Density filter for long

exposures. |SP
