Today, on 22nd January, I woke up early (though not so early according to my parents) and went up to my roof terrace at 10am to enjoy the warmth of sun in freezing Delhi.

All relaxed, no office work, I was just clicking few of the Birds of my locality and was enjoying their chirpings, fights and their random flights to & from their nests.

Suddenly, to my amazement, I heared the Supersonic sound of Flying Fighter Jets. Sound of the powerful flying Turbo engines flying just above my Home.

The buzz of these Fighter Jests really make your Heart to pump faster.

It was the sound of Airfoce Trial practice jusr before our Republic Day (26th January).

But, its your Damn Bad Luck!!!

Its all clear sky, but SMOG all around. Visiblity was minimal.

You can see the jets flying above your head, you are grabbing your DSLR but clarity is dead.

You click and you found this.

So, don’t be disheartened. I am there for you to help in this situtation.

In this SMOG situation, what then I did????

I just changed into RAW mode.

RAW settings:

1. Av Aperture priority at F5.6

2. ISO 100

3. Exposure = +0.1

4. Click in continuous mode.

Edit of RAW:

1. Saturation +2

2. Shadow -1

3. Sharpness 90%

4. Structure +4

5. Warmth 6-10

For clarity and edit you can use Light Room or Snapseed.
