So I remember visiting this lake a few years ago and I really wanted to go check if it's still as beautiful as it was. Even though I can't comment on how it has changed, I did find a few shots there.

I obviously went to the lake to photograph the lake but stupid me didn't carry an ND filter with me so I had to resort to clicking other things around it.

I don't usually do edits with super punchy colors or HDR-like contrast, it's just not my style. But while editing one of the camel pictures, I had to push my sliders to extremes that I have never pushed it before and then I hit a sweet spot. A punchy vibrant high contrast edit that works great on the typical Indian colors. I decided to use the same style for all the camel pictures and I am really happy with how they came out. The two camels were definite posers.

The village men's family owns the camel and they were really excited to have their photo clicked. It's weird to think that, that moment was probably the most exciting thing they did today. Something out of the ordinary. They can find happiness in these little things.

I do plan to go back another weekend, this time with an ND filter.

I love RAW files, here is something to show their power:
