As masterpieces are born

• How do the masterpieces of

In fact, to make this photo we took 3 days for coordination, training day and 5 hours of footage. In Burma, we hired a guide who organized the monks bought candles and smoking sticks, brought us to the right place at the right time, seated monks in the correct posture, instead of the reflector used the book to their faces highlight, and further business remains for small - to remove.

All details and other photos of this series under the cut ...

Monks brought us another day. Two young guys. That's what the older was always serious and minor constantly bursts out laughing and jumping. With him it was more difficult, though facial expressions he was very expressive.

While the sun was still high, the boys marched with umbrellas against the backdrop of the pagodas of Bagan. To catch this view had to climb up the booty in the prickly bushes, so that at the same time as a group (as we had 7 people), we could not take off, so the boys went back and forth a few times:

We waited for the evening, when the sun falls, and its rays will begin to make its way through the narrow windows of local churches. While rays was not filmed the monks who set fire to the purchased by us specifically for this shoot a candle:

The sun's rays is difficult to take a picture, if the air is clear, therefore, the whole church had filled with smoke and dust:

In the beginning, we have entrusted this boy, but realized that they know nothing about smoke and got down to business for yourself:

There is nothing reprehensible. For example, if you take the most expensive photograph in the world, sold for 6, $ 5 million, we also see the smoke in the beam of light. Apparently, it's filmed in Antelope Canyon, where I have been many times, and I know that there is no smoke, and many photographers, "bring it with you":

the sun's rays do not exist, but we can not wait to take pictures. Naturally, all the frames are then safely cleared:

Well, almost everything:

Boys transplanted from place to place in different positions:

Cheers! Finally began to break through the rays. Conduct additional rooms smoke and specially brought a broom, dust rises into the temple:

We are looking for the angle. It's not that:

Even better:

That view! Several sighting:

Frame and the "right" angle found!

Now most slozhnyya task, select any one of the frame 200 captured:

We try to direct angle:

are constantly falling into each other's objectives:

Catch the sun birds:

a biasing diaphragm 8, 1/400 sec, ISO 3200:

So already like everything that can be filmed, and even hands itch with this beauty:

All! Paralyzed! You can fly on copter and discuss the survey results

Long bored once. As long as the sun went down, we go to another temple:

Boys sit very quietly and patiently wait until we otsnimemsya:

Then the temple more and more difficult to generate smoke it:

A very contrasting picture. Or all dark or overexposed sunlight:

Final shots:

A little tired already clearly pose. Let go of the monks:

And do we rush to the stupa, remove the sunset, while the sun is still not definitively village
