I am a photographer who loves making photos of people and places. So every now and then I pack my bag, pick up my camera and head for some destination that I have never been to. My objective is to explore, to interact and to make photos. I am sure there are many among you who are just like me. Read more...
Every now and then there would be a requirement for a photojournalistic style wedding photographer. It is a testimony that some people love to see a unique perspective to a clichéd routine. That just augers well for photographers who shoot in this style.

If you are a digital photographer, which is most likely (well you are here reading this isn’t?), one particular aspect of your work is inherently touchy; and that is data management. As you may be aware by now, shooting hundreds and thousands of photos each month takes a toll on your computer hard drive. At the end of the day, hard drive capacity is finite and that means sooner rather than later you would run out of space to store your photos. Read more...
Digital interchangeable lens cameras are the preferred choice for shooting professional quality images. Five years ago and I would have used the term Digital Single Lens Reflex camera. But things have changed in the last few years or so. Mirrorless cameras have come on to the market in a big way and that has changed the perspective of camera buyers.

When it comes to wildlife photography, choosing the right auto-focusing mode can often make the difference between getting a perfect action photo and missing an incredible moment. Your digital SLR camera has a number of shooting options. Which, when activated, can be give you the leverage you need in order to nail a shot on the first attempt. I am referring to auto-focusing modes and the various custom AF settings on your camera. Read more...
Panning is the technique of going with the flow of a moving subject to make images. The movement of the camera should be at the same vector as the subject and at the same speed, while the exposures are clicked. Ideally, panning movements are used to shoot not one but a series of images and is a technique that is used in sports, wildlife and at times in everyday photography as well. Read more...
If you look at the main aspects that govern exposure, you would obviously realize that there are three. Three pillars unto which all exposure constructions are resting. The number three is auspicious, in religion as in photography. It is also pertinent to mention here that the number three is a recurring phenomenon in photography. Today, however, we are concerned with one of these pillars that are fundamental to all photography – ISO. Read more...
You may have heard, nature and natural light photographers often say this – you must head out at least an hour before the sun peeks behind the trees. These photographers who have made a career out of shooting in natural light understand the tremendous significance of the early morning light. The early morning light (and for that matter the late afternoon light as well) is slanted, it comes at an angle that is almost parallel to the surface of the earth. What it does is it highlights textures, brings to life details like no other light can. Read more...
Pardon me for saying this, but not a good deal of photographers quite know how to price themselves. They either overshot, asking for more money than what is reasonable, losing clients in the process or worse, undercharge, thereby losing a good deal of money. Either way, they lose money every time they meet clients or work on assignments. Read more...
One of the things that photographers are guilty of and I am referring to both amateurs and enthusiasts is that they don’t print often. Back in the days of film, the only way photographers could ever see their work is if they carried the spools of film back to a film processing lab and had the film developed and printed. Then came digital and the old habit of shooting and making the distance to the development lab became no longer necessary. Images were only shot to be shared and promulgated over the internet or other electronic formats. Read more...
