In 2015, I went to West Wyalong in NSW Australia to hunt canola. That wasn't a great decision as I didn't find a lot of Canola. I was on my way back when my friend spotted this tree in a paddock. I turned our car towards it, and we happy shot the tree. The sun rose behind the tree, and with the vastness of the farm, I could actually see the horizon and the sunrise. I then spotted a sun star and made good use of it.
I took several shots of this tree from different corners. The leaves and flowers at the base were actually to one side of the tree; and I had several shots of the sky prior to sunrise and after, to ensure the clouds covered all parts of the sky. It actually didn't but they moved from one end to the other spanning the whole sky at different times. I combined 9 shots, 3 for the tree, 3 for the grass and the ground and 3 for the sky to make this final image. There was a bit of lens flare and I did not remove it because I felt it adds to the image.
I have given a lot of time to making this image. I love photography and all the parts of it - the part where we made that adventure, to the emotion of seeing those images for the first time on a computer wide screen, to the emotional journey of making the final image. In the end, the one that stayed with me, was the quiet morning at that farm in front of that tree, thinking of nothing and embracing the warmth of the beautiful rising sun.
Photography is currently a passion for Rav, not a profession. His knowledge is completely self-taught but his experience is a result of shooting-and-learning alongside professional landscape and seascape photographers of a very accommodating photographers' group in Australia. He has been into serious photography and photo editing for about two years. He is a full time Business Intelligence Project Manager and an engineer, and thus, his approach to photography has grown from a technical angle, to an aesthetic sense of fine art.
Rav enjoys the combination of family, friends, photography and travelling. He carries his medium format Nikon D610 Digital Single Lens Reflex camera and his full camera gear with him when he travels. His photography has earned him awards in international competitions like Epson pano awards, Better Photography awards, Focus awards, etc.
