Buying Second-Hand Photo Equipment

Let’s face it. Photography equipment has never been cheap. And, with the onslaught of smartphones almost wiping out the compact camera market, manufacturers had no choice but to pass on the burden of loss to the mainstream gear – camera bodies and lenses.

Close-Up & Macro Photography

How often do we spot that ladybug resting underneath a blade of grass while walking along a grass-covered path? We do not often acknowledge the existence of this teeny, but colourful world. However, a peek into this world of tiny living and non-living things is surely exciting and immensely satisfying to a photographer. This month, let us help you explore this world with a few tips.

In Love With Macro

Uday Hegde is a SAP Technical Architect by profession and is currently living in Bangalore. He hails from a small village called Sirsi in the North Canara District of Karnataka. He is married and has a 9-year-old son. Says Uday “I was lucky to have been born in the midst of the natural beauty of the Western Ghats which I always wanted to capture the way I see it. And it was 12 years back that I finally got that chance when I bought my first camera. At the age of eight or nine, I used to take wild shots using my dad’s old camera never knowing the perfect angle. But that got me so interested that it became my dream to buy a camera for myself when I grew up and got a job.

UNIQUE WAYS TO CREATE SELF-PORTRAITS

CAPTURING AN AMAZING AND DIFFERENT SELF-PORTRAIT WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE OR CAMERA WITHOUT MAKING IT LOOK LIKE A SELFIE IS A DIFFICULT TASK. USUALLY PEOPLE TEND TO END UP WITH A TYPICAL PASSPORT SIZE PHOTO OR SELFIE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. A SELF-PORTRAIT SHOULD EXPRESS YOUR HONEST EXPRESSION WITH SOME UNIQUE CREATIVITY IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY.

THE PLAY OF LIGHTS AND SHADOWS

ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT LIGHTS AND SHADOWS. THE MORE YOU PLAY WITH IT THE MORE YOU WILL BE SURPRISED WITH THE AMAZING RESULTS. TECHNICALLY, IF ONE REALLY WANTS TO MASTER THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY, THEN THEY MUST UNDERSTAND THE VERY NATURE OF LIGHT AND SHADOWS. HOW TO PLAY WITH THEM AND HOW IT CAN ACT AS A POWERFUL TOOL TO CREATE AN IMPACT, YET MAKE IT LOOK EFFORTLESS. WHILE SHOOTING LIGHT AND SHADOWS MAKE SURE THAT YOU FIRST UNDERSTAND THE NUANCES OF NATURAL AS WELL AS ARTIFICIAL LIGHT. ALSO, HOW THEY BEHAVE IN SPECIFIC CONTEXT FOR SHADOWS TO FALL IN PLACE. ONCE WE BEGIN TO PLACE A SUBJECT IN DIRECT LIGHT THEN IT MAY START APPEARING FLAT TO THE BEHOLDER. BUT IF WE MAKE USE OF SHADOWS ALONG WITH IT THEN IT ADDS A DEPTH TO THE PICTURE ADDING DIMENSIONS TO IT. WHEN ONE IS TRYING TO CREATE A PICTURE-PERFECT SCENARIO THEN THAT PICTURE MUST CONSIST OF BLACK, WHITE AND GREY TONES TO BRING A SENSE OF COMPLETION TO THE FRAME. USUALLY THIS TECHNIQUE IS USED TO CAPTURE ABSTRACT OR MYSTERIOUS PHOTOGRAPHS AND SILHOUETTES. SPECIFICALLY, THE HIGH CONTRAST LIGHTING AND SHADOWS TOGETHER CREATE EXCLUSIVE STANDPOINTS IN MONOCHROME.

MASTERING THE FINESSE OF PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY

AS A GENERATION OF PEOPLE, WE HAVE EVOLVED SO MUCH AND HAVE BEEN WITNESSING WONDERS FROM INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION TO THE WORLD, WHICH HAS TAKEN OVER BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. WE HAVE SEEN THE TRANSFORMATION FROM NOKIA TO APPLE, FROM DVDS TO SSDS, FROM COOLPIX TO DSLRS, FROM ORKUT TO FACEBOOK, FROM ACTION TO NIKE SO ON AND SO FORTH. IN TODAY’S FAST PACED WORLD WITH THE ADVENT OF TECHNOLOGY, WE ALWAYS NEED TO KEEP UP WITH IT. A NEW VALUE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE FIELD OF CREATIVE INDUSTRIES MAKING MORE ROOM FOR THE DESIGNERS AND CREATIVE HEADS TO BRAINSTORM OVER THE DESIGN ASPECTS OF EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT AND ITS BRANDING. THIS VALUE ADDITION HAS LED TO THE ADVERTISEMENT OF ALL THESE PRODUCTS IN A UNIQUE WAY WHICH IN TURN LEADS TO THE IMPORTANCE OF AESTHETICS INVOLVED IN THE DESIGNING AND REPRESENTING THESE PRODUCTS IN THE BURGEONING MARKET. THE DEMAND OF ANY GIVEN PRODUCT ON AN ONLINE PLATFORM HAS GIVEN RISE TO ENTREPRENEURS WHO MARKET THEIR PRODUCTS WITH THE HELP OF DESIGNERS, ARTISTS, PHOTOGRAPHERS AND TECHIES INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS OF MARKETING. PHOTOGRAPHY AS A PROFESSION AT THE MOMENT IS VERY DEMANDING AND CREATIVE AT THE SAME TIME. ONE NEEDS TO UPGRADE TO BE IN SUCH A COMPETITIVE WORLD SPECIFICALLY IF SOMEONE WANTS TO SHOWCASE THEIR WORK. LET’S LOOK AT HOW WE CAN ACHIEVE THE SAME?
