CATCHING THE FISHERMAN

I have been taking photographs using a DSLR since 2012 but you’d be surprised to know that I’ve never used shutter speeds beyond 1/500. During my trip to Cambodia last November, my tour guide took me outside of Siem Reap allowing me to see the beautiful Cambodian countryside. Unfortunately, we had to work around a schedule so I didn’t have the luxury of making frequent stops to take photos. I had to capture most of the countryside from inside a speeding van and above is one of those photos I took while we were speeding down a country road. This was taken around 9 in the morning after I noticed a number of men lined along the river bank throwing nets to catch fish. I was hoping to capture one just as he was throwing his net and luckily I saw one getting ready so I focused my camera on him to capture the perfect moment. I think I used 1/1500 shutter speed for this photo and zoomed in at 200mm. I love how I captured the net midair and the man in his throwing pose. I wish I was able to capture this photo while on steady ground but this one isn’t too bad from inside a moving van. Hope you guys like this as much as I do.
