In the era of 5” plus sizes of screen of smartphones, having a screen guard is very common. Putting a tempered glass cover is also catching up steadily.
In the group of people, who use tempered glass, there are two kinds…
One, who throw the cover away when it breaks. Other, who do this….
Everything, when viewed under correct light, appears beautiful, even a shattered glass sheet.
Cheers!!
Shooting in the dark is a job that takes patience and care, just to get the focus right. That too in a manual lens. The ISO needs to be high enough to use a decent shutter speed, and a low enough to avoid excessive noise. When you manage to get things right, you get a shot like this.
Till the next post..
Cheers!!
Ordinary people, ordinary location, ordinary day and an ordinary statue. But, put them all in one perfect setting, and you get an extraordinary shadow! Enjoy!!
Hi there all,
Am beginning a regime, and also a new category of posts named One Camera One Lens (OCOL). This has been inspired by a lot of amazing photographers and is a tough thing to do too. But then again, this is the only way I ll ever come close to mastering a focal length. My camera is Nikon D3100, and the lens, 50 mm f1.8 D manual focus prime.
Here I begin with the first photo of the regime.
The only way to improve, is to strive hard. Â And yes, dont smoke, they kill, eventually.
Cheers!!
So, when someone asked me if I could make some tricks with the camera, I said, lets see. So, here I am, making my dear brother, who is holding the Tamron 150-600mm monster, levitate.
Dont worry, no dark arts at play here. Its a very basic case of merging and two photos, shot at the same location, same settings and then a case of precise masking. Try it out with different backgrounds and poses, for much more amazing results. Below are the two basic files that had been used for the shot.
Go stun someone, cheers!!
I have tried out with close up filters and more recently with free lensing. The best close up, macro shots are by the dedicated macro lens, but these techniques get you pretty close too. Check the earlier works here.
Here are some of the reverse lensing shots which have got me close, less than 10 cms close to my subject.
Have a look at the other entries on macro shots here!
Cheers!!
Q for Quiet Release Mode
I ll be truthful about it, I couldnt find any other describable photography related word with Q, so here goes. Quiet Release Mode is a shooting mode, available in Nikon DSLR bodies, not sure about the others though, which significantly reduces the sound of the shutter slap. It may be used in sensitive environments, such as in a museum, or when taking a close up of a sleeping beast maybe. It acts similar to the single shot mode, but is a bit slower too. In my camera, its the least used mode.
This is a part of April AtoZ Challenge. Letters upto P, can be found here!
Cheers!!
This was a weekly prompt that I could put up without much issues.
Now, depth, can be about anything, I take it as Depth Of Field, my favourite depth that is, yet :p
In case you are wondering what this is, this is a sugar bowl at the Cha Bar at the Oxford, Park Street, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
Happy clicking, cheers!
Heyy there all, I’ve been busy studying for some exams and hence got little time to shoot and even lesser time to put up a blog post. But now, I got some time, so here goes.
Finding inspiration to shoot is a tricky thing in the first place, and to do that often, its kinda tedious too. But, suppose you are lazing in the noon and suddenly you want to take some photos which are not very common and also, you do not want to leave your home. What do you do??
I took a few tea bags. Snipped their heads and made them stand and set the top on fire. This is what I shot. You too try and post your shots.
Oh..I almost forgot to say…the bag flies away right in the end if you do it right. Have fun!
Cheers!!
Admit it dear readers, you have all done it too, sat staring at the wires as it rained and imagined the raindrops to be racing each other.
Few days ago, suddenly it was cloudy and rainy here, and when the drizzles stopped, I noticed that the wires out in my balcony looked like a starting line for the drops.
A little channge in the perspective, at they became a string of pearls.
Shot using both my 50mm and the 55-200mm zoom, and then retouched in the digital darkrooms.
Never let the weather dampen your spirits, every day and moment is unique…and so is every shot…Shoot away friends.
Cheers!!
Another year gone! A year which had more of dips than the ups in whole. Settled in a new city for the greater part of the year, made some friends, developed a few crushes….met some disappointments too. The good things … got my first camera, got appreciated at work, started the blog…not bad in total. Anyway, thats past, wont come back and the year hasnt been that awful that it would come back to haunt me…so…am done with it. For the new year, I hope to obtain new educational qualifications, some new camera gears, lots of views and comments on the posts and a lot of opportunities to explore and experience the world.
Enough with musings. This photo was shot yesterday as I was returning home via the highway. I love the way the cooling towers of the power plant give boundary to the scene. Shot on aperture priority mode on my zoom, lowest ISO. Hope you like it. Happy New Year to my dear readers, and I hope that this year, is better than the previous 🙂
