Dawn at the Lake front

Dawn at the Lake front

Blue Misty Lake


Lakes and reservoir are the next best thing after the sea, and in most lakes, lake front make the most beautiful place to sit back and enjoy the lake scenery, My advice would be to enjoy the sun set or sun dawn from the lake front and if the sky is not too cloudy you can enjoy a good view.
For a photographer lakes are a fantastic place to harvest new ideas for a shoot, in most of the
lakes you can find birds flying around and if the bushes are near there will always be animals as well.

For me Its the Dawn and sunset which I always love to capture, this need bit of a dedication and a good gear as well but when considering the gear in these days even a smart phone has a good point and shot cam,

My gear is canon 600 D and I used 18-55 mm default kit lens for most of these shoots and for some I used canon 18-135mm / Tamron 70-300 mm as well.

Tips to do Lake photography



  • First if you are taking the sun , then you have to plan it within the golden hour ( first hour from the dawn and last hour before dusk).
  • And my advice is to go early and find a good spot and be ready.
  • If you are doing slow shutter captures better to have dark filters with you , in case you might need them.
  • Avoid high cloudy days and heavy rainy days, but then again there is no bad weather for photography because some times weather makes the best and rare shots.
  • Be equipped with a wide lens.
  • If you are going to take bird photography or wild life near the lake consider the wind direction as well , because animal can sense your appearance from the wind easily.

Divided we fall united we Stand

Fun facts about ants is that they can lift 20 times its own weight. Ant colonies are controlled by a queen ant and there are soldiers and workers,ants can track their own trails for miles and there are more than 10,000 species of ants all over the world. But one of the most important thing about ants is their unity and bond, they always joined as a whole. This is one thing that humans can learn from ants “Divided we fall united we stand” its like the only thing that ants are following. On the other hand this will limit the creative and free thinking because if we all act like ants and doing only the things we told to do then humans will never invent the massive structures and complex technologies in past and humans will never evolve like this. I believe humans are free thinkers and always curious about their surroundings and this lead them to invent and explore, but still we have to admire the unity and the workmanship that ants have.
