SLC-S29/W2 | How to Photograph Lakes / Swamps / Calm Ponds by @memamun

Dear friends, I hope you are all doing well. Alhamdulillah, by the endless mercy of Allah, I am also doing very well. Today, I am going to share with you a topic that is in its second week of engagement. It is being conducted by our dear brother @walictd. The season he has organized on photography is an extremely important topic, and that is what I am going to participate in today.

The topic I will present here is photography. The place I have chosen for photography is in Bogura district, located in the northern part of Bangladesh. Next to the staff quarters of Bogura district, which almost everyone knows, there is a naturally grown pond. There are some roads around it, as well as natural surroundings with plants and houses. A pond has formed amidst these, and I have tried to photograph this very pond.

Around this pond, there are trees, houses, buildings, and roads. Additionally, there are many smaller ponds nearby that have grown naturally, and no fish are cultivated in them, as I heard from there. Since they have grown naturally, the areas around them have leaves that float on the water. Also, if we observe the water, we can see it looks like a mirror, and we can see a calm pond, where there are no waves and no disturbances.

The photographs I have shared here were taken without using any filters and were not edited in any way. I selected a completely pure spot in the late afternoon, a solid and clean area during a late afternoon. You might be able to tell from the weather how natural it is, capturing the moment of the late afternoon just before evening.

Looking at this photograph, I feel inspired to write that in the moments just before the sunset that afternoon, the weather created an exceptionally beautiful and pleasant ambiance. The surroundings were neat and tidy, and there was a light, mild winter chill; truly, the time was wonderfully spent. Children were playing in the natural environment, and many young people had come to engage in photography. This made the place feel even more complete, and it became a perfect time for taking photographs. By the end of the day, this afternoon seemed to become a wonderful moment for everyone, a gift from the peaceful pond within this natural setting.
