Smokiee!!!

Hi Everyone,

YouTube has some amazing videos by very talented and creative photographers. One of them is Gavin Hoey. I really admire him. His one of the video shows how to do smoke photography.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2d281_HoEQ. 

I thought why not do it in home without the help of all those equipments. I started looking for the things i will require for the shoot. The list is as followed :-

1. incense stick

2. a small table.

3. black cloth for the background.

4. i didn't have torch or lamp so i used light from my mobile phone.

5. Dark room.

Camera settings: 

1. Manual mode

2. Aperture @ f5.6

3. No body flash.

3. Shutter speed @ 1/200. 

4. Lods of pics ;)

 Below are the results of the shoot (images have been post proceeded) :-

 Hope u like them...

Drive to Nainital

Hello every one..
On 4th March i drove from Bareli to Nainital, it was around 5 hours of journey. We took a breather at Haldwani   (a small town near to nainital). Till then it was all plane area with normal traffic and dust. But when the real climb started for Nainital, i couldn't keep my eyes close which i kept prior to breather. The valley was so beautiful and serine and little drizzling made it look more awesome. As the rain stooped and sun pooped out there was a beautiful rainbow. Such rainbow i have never seen my life. It was so close that i could count all the colors. I dared to come out of my car and take photos even though it was drizzling and the wind was freezing my fingers.

Enjoy the colors...   

Different Edits!!

Hi All,
While doing post processing some of my photos i came across some of the effects that my software provided and i never noticed them. It made the photos to loose their originality yet made them look great. Its some thing different...;)

Water Drops!

One fine day i was googling some of the photographs and i saw photos of water drops. Then i read there specifications given by some of the photographers who have been doing such work since long time and they are the masters of it. But all those specifications included A studio,expensive lighting, and few more setups. My crazy mind thought of to do it at home and i started searching for possibilities of doing it. I took a TUB full of water and kept it under a shower. Started the shower at the slowest speed..like only few drops in a second. Then adjusted my camera at ISO 100, BODY FLASH ON and CONTINUES shooting mode...also switched off bathroom lights. Approx 40 shots..with few adjustments in exposure settings...and the results are below..:-)
