Yoga@the Peak
Have been clicking such pics for quite a time now, thought of completing a series comprising of such pics.
Have no definite name for such pics, but surely they all fall in the same category..;)
and will also gave me a good reason to put my new Dslr to some good use
Me and my friend Kunal were experimenting with our SLRz on the way to Ooty, trying to come up with something new and this is what we came up with.
All pics have been taken in single shot mode(no burst modes used!).
The pics below were shot at a village(SubannaKuppi) near Mysore on the Bangalore highway.
This was our second visit to the same place, may be will visit again as am simply falling in love with that place!
Kunal and Zorri in action!!
Writing after quite a long time as training @ Infosys doesn`t permit much.
Have loads of pics to upload of all the weekend trips have made from mysore!
Well captured few nice landscape shots at Ooty. One can realize the beauty of the Nilgiris only after visiting this picturesque place.
This lake on the way to Ooty left me spellbound!
We spent a couple of hours besides this lake clicking pictures.
Tips for great Pictures!!
Look your subject in the eye
Direct eye contact can be as engaging in a picture as it is in real life. When taking a picture of someone, hold the camera at the person's eye level to unleash the power of those magnetic gazes and mesmerizing smiles. For children, that means stooping to their level. And your subject need not always stare at the camera. All by itself that eye level angle will create a personal and inviting feeling that pulls you into the picture.
Use a plain background
A plain background shows off the subject you are photographing. When you look through the camera viewfinder, force yourself to study the area surrounding your subject. Make sure no poles grow from the head of your favorite niece and that no cars seem to dangle from her ears.
Use flash outdoors
Bright sun can create unattractive deep facial shadows. Eliminate the shadows by using your flash to lighten the face. When taking people pictures on sunny days, turn your flash on. You may have a choice of fill-flash mode or full-flash mode. If the person is within five feet, use the fill-flash mode; beyond five feet, the full-power mode may be required. With a digital camera, use the picture display panel to review the results.
The flash will brighten up people's faces and make them stand out. Also take a picture without the flash, because the soft light of overcast days sometimes gives quite pleasing results by itself.
Auto focus problems
Sometimes the object for focus is too small compared to its background, for example you are trying to focus onto a single thin and tiny leaf, the camera may not be able to auto-focus on it. So place fist or any other object nearby the leaf and allow the camera to auto-focus at that position. Thereafter remove the object and click your shot!! I took snapped those red-ants on the orchids in a similar way.
