Photography Tip # 12



While photographing rows or patterns of objects like books/CD's/Crockery etc, place them on reflective surface.
Reflective surfaces show the same geometric pattern/shapes happening in the exactly opposite direction.
This not only doubles the impact but also adds to the graphic value of your image.

The Lens Project! (Part-1)


“Which lens to use is first an emotional decision and then, it is a technical one…”

This is my favorite and immediate answer to one of the two ubiquitous questions that keep coming my way- “Which lens should I buy?"
(The other one of course being- “which camera should I buy?”)

Of course, in the above context, when I say emotional, I largely mean - that the type of lens you will need depends upon what objects you love to shoot, what things you are most emotional about - Wildlife, landscapes, streets, insects, faces…?

But then sometimes, one starts falling in love with the medium itself. And, more often than not... it is the lens ! 

Well, it happens to almost every photographer...
The Love, and the Obsession… for the lens!

The Honey-bee loves the lens as much as it loves the flower!
