For Hindus, Diwali is celebrated with full devotion and by various traditional activities at homes. And being the prime festival for Hindus, the excitement and vitality can be seen on everyone's face. People get themselves enrolled in shopping, decorations, buying crackers, sweets, lights, etc, but for the ones who love their cameras, its a wonderful opportunity to capture the beautiful moments of happiness into astonishing photos.
Here are some clicks by me, that can show you what all different things can be clicked.
Traditionally known as the 'jhoomers' a decorative item but the focus of the camera can do wonders, especially when the lights or the other things behind the object are out of focus and serve as a blurred background. And the whole game is about managing between macro and micro objects.
The sweet meats, dry fruits, chocolates etc, without these it might be a tasteless Diwali. So why miss their pic also.
A simple box of sweets or the dry fruit box can be turned into an exotic object of photography.
Exposure and the angle, the basic two things, that manipulate it all. The exposure is to be taken in a way it soothes the eyes of the viewer or highlights the features of the object which you are focusing onto, and turn off the automatic camera settings, it will never let you get the desired shots. The manually controlled exposure, ISO and shutter speed can do wonders. To improve yourself just start practicing and experimenting with your cameras. Here in the above pic I have just set an example.
'Pooja' or the traditional ways of worshiping to Goddess Lakshmi just as it is done but the clicks solemnly shows the current scenario later turn into great master pieces.
All the above pics that I clicked are only at my home with my cell-phone camera Nokia N8.
It is said that "holding an expensive professional DSLR and clicking your pic in front of the mirror doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you its Owner !"
The art remains in you, along with talent.
So next time when a festival comes, just pick up your camera and start clicking with new innovative angles and with good exposure.
Thank you,
And Happy Photography
