INTERVIEW “It is difficult to capture the ‘soul’ of a person. It shines through their eyes or surfaces for a split second on their faces and evaporates. It takes great deal of effort to press the shutter at the right moment. Like catching a bird.” • Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 • Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VR • Nikon 85mm f/1.4 • Sigma 35mm f/1.4 • Nikon 50mm f/1.8 • Kenko Autofocus extension tubes for close ups n I have two flashes • Nikon SB 700 • Nikon SB 910 I have two filters that I mostly use for landscape and daylight portraits • ND10 graduated • Circular Polarizer n Other accessories: • One travel tripod • Wired remote release and timer for long exposures • Extra batteries • Many memory cards n What lens do you use the most, and why? While travelling, Nikon D750 with 24-70mm f/2.8 and 85mm f/1.4 are my choices of equipment. This combination satisfactorily covers wide angle as well as portrait focal lengths. Also, this combination is light to travel with. A circular polarizer and an ND filter is a must for landscape photographers, as they are handy in most situations. Any additional accessories? • BlackRapid camera strap • A hard shelled memory card case and lot of memory cards • A lens-pen and/or microfiber cloth • Extra batteries • Remote release and timer September-October 2015 Travel Secrets  71
