Sometimes picture not being in symmetry also looks perfect. Isn’t it?

Leave a reply

cute pictureDidn’t we hear people say cute as a kitten? I guess, this photograph would have gone well with that simile. The picture does not have any symmetry at all, but that is what I guess makes it more perfect. However, the jet black background doesn’t really make much sense to me except for the fact that it has enabled the whole subject to emerge out better. I don’t see too much of depth in this picture and I don’t think it was taken to convey that also. The animal body is interesting, but the photographer has not been able to leave any proof inside the photograph that suggests that this is not a piece of Photoshop work but a real picture that has been clicked with a real camera. Why do pictures always have to be picture perfect? A little bit of spot here and a little bit of spot there actually makes pictures more vivid and lifelike.

 

A Picture-Perfect!!

A Picture-PerfectThat is what I call picture-perfect! An amazing piece of composition, great detailing and excellent selection of reference frames. The elephant in the picture is not a baby – it’s a huge one but the photographer has carefully captured and edited the dust cloud to make it look like a part of the picture and not something odd. The picture is full of life, strength and stamina but still manages to tell us that it doesn’t really matter how big you are – you end up being smaller to something or the other under the sun!

The minimum amount of sky that is visible shows that the picture has been taken on a bright day and the photographer has cleverly cropped off most of the sky to add more depth to the picture. The thin black line lacing the horizon and the shadow of the elephant not protruding too deep into the interiors has created an amazing effect and I’m sure this picture is going to remain in my mind for a long time to come.

 

Black n White Photographs

This is simply stunning. A black-and-white photograph with so much detailing could only have come out of a professional photographer’s camera. If this picture was taken in color then also it would have been of great appeal. The sky seems to be at its best and so does the desert. I’m not really sure what kind of a camera has been used for this but it definitely speaks volumes about the dynamic range that the camera has.

Black n White PhotographsAn interesting thing to note in this case is the balance of the photograph. The right side of the photograph does not have too many things in it but still it does not look odd because of the tilted horizon. The photographer has cleverly taken the shot when the sun just been down – immaculate timing! The shadows are excellent and in fact they form an integral part of the whole subject here.

 

Giving Natural effects in a Photograph

Giving Natural effects in a PhotographThese are the kinds of photographs that you get to see in calendars. This is undoubtedly a beautiful composition done at low shutter speed. The water in itself seems to be a part of the subject and it looks beautiful with the sun’s rays gleaming on it. Great piece of work! But, photography to me is a depiction of the truth and a canvas for my wild ideas; this seems to drag you into a make-believe world and if I had the chance to correct things I would have wanted the model stand in a more natural posture compared to the “arty” looking one depicted here. This photograph to me looks so real that it has escalated itself to the heights of being fiction! The here and the water is a bit too perfect and I would have wanted it to be a bit more blurry with less sharpness. The symmetry of the picture does not look good to me either. The right side seems to be a bit heavy compared to the left side and most important of all, the model seems to be doing something forcefully and not naturally. You would never stand like that and pull off water laden hair without tipping over

Pictures explain more than words!!!

pictures explain more than wordsThat’s 9/11 once again! Cannot really criticize the photograph much. It’s really an amazing piece of work – the absent gaze on the eyes of a firefighter has been excellently portrayed and that says a million words. The not so detailed ambulance and the line of fire fighters behind clearly tell you the story of lost hope. The rubble, the bright yellow bands on the uniform of the firefighters, the open helmet and open glove clearly tell you the story of tragedy and despair. As much as it reminds me of the “bad old days”, it leaves a deep impression on my heart and makes me apprehensive about the future that I have not seen yet.

A very small but excellent piece of detailing on the picture is the black frame that it is encased into. There are no unessential elements in this picture and the black frame does a good job of containing the “sorrow” that the photographer wanted to portray through it.

 

A Master piece of Photography

The idea is definitely nice and an excellent piece of composition I must A Master piece of Photographysay . There are however several things that could have been changed a bit (or rather shall I say could have been shot better) to make the photograph look more professional. First let me say that the eyes of a child are visible through the mask and that is an excellent piece of detailing. The color of the dress, the color of the fowl and the color of the pants have added extra flavor to it and setting them against that dark background of the road has added more depth to the picture.

It is understandable that it was not really a planned shot, but would have preferred the photographer to shift a bit more to the left and then take the picture so that the child standing behind could have had his face feature in the photograph.

An amazing dark forest picture

An amazing dark forest paintingWell, an excellent piece of picture I must say. Some might say that picture is very dark and a bit of more sharpness could have made it better; personally for me I would say; the picture is not really that bad. It’s very difficult to do the square stuff and this one seems to have been able to do it decently to some extent. An interesting feature about this photograph is that it is divided into two homogeneous segments by the subject of the picture itself. It’s true that a bit of more sharpness could have added more flavor to it and a little more detailing especially near the edges could have made a better, but it’s a cool photo graph to have come out of an amateur’s camera.

If I were told to make this more professional, I would add a bit more aperture to it if I wanted to capture the morning sun in the middle of the forest.
