As a child I loved nothing more than a warm, jam donut from our local bakery. What I remember most is the warm, fluffy texture of the fresh dough mixed with the sweet explosion of raspberry jam. The magic is in the filling which is what I wanted to capture in this photograph. What stood out for me was the combination of textures in the donuts, so I used natural light and a shallow focus to highlight this.
This photo was also taken during the village tour during the NSS camp. Because it was the month of February in which it was getting cold, people often come outside their houses and sit for taking morning sun. This grandfather was also sitting then reading the card. I asked him for a photo and his reaction was like this.
I took this long exposure photo using 17mm wide lens and natural grey filter that allows exposure to be extended by the factor of a thousand (DolDer X-Pro Series Slim Neutral Density Filter ND 1000). Exposure settings was 27 minutes. I was standing in the shallow water using tripod and waiting for a photo for over 27 minutes (noise reduction time included).
