Shoot 6

    17th Sept'25 Shoot 6 Explorations and Extras running water, though water was not allowed to capture, why not give it a try and see where it goes, a little underexposed than i expected cause of the shutter speed, still a fun activity to capture one of those cool pinterest photos  nike vinay strikes again, EVEN FASTER trust me, he was indeed levitating tried to capture laughing buddha in rgb background with a little bit of blur failed attempt at capturing the traffic, causing shake and blurring out the subject by a little maybe a lil too fast for the camera to captures the papaya's but it did teach me how to work with diff shutter speeds depending on the speed of the subject playing around with the flash, very common but a fun one to explore capturing buddha in the dark, focusing on the silhouette capturing the paint in the water and how smoothly it blends in and the spinning watch again, before it slipped out of my fingers, i also notice how grain has affected this add...

   15th Sept'25 Shoot 5 Motion Blur Motion blur in photography happens when a moving subject is captured with a slower shutter speed, causing the motion to appear as a streak or blur in the image. Instead of freezing the action, it emphasizes the sense of movement, speed, and dynamism . Photographers often use this intentionally like blurring car lights in night photography, showing flowing water as silky smooth, or capturing the rush of people in a busy street to create mood and energy. However, if unintentional, motion blur can make photos look shaky or unclear. It’s essentially a creative tool that depends on the right balance of shutter speed, subject speed, and camera stability . made the lighting background blur using colourful wallpaper on the phone and continuously movie it get the blur and put emphasis on the still subject in front  running Jaivin, running towards the camera in ghost capturing its blur meanwhile the background stays is, focusing more on the blur...

12th Sept'25  Shoot 1  Rule Of Thirds The rule of thirds is a visual guideline where you divide your frame into a 3×3 grid and place key elements along the lines or at their intersections. This makes the composition more balanced and visually appealing. Observation  I observed that positioning the subject slightly off-center can make a photograph visually more engaging than placing it in the exact middle. This offset creates a natural sense of balance and movement, while also giving more space to thoughtfully compose the background. It allows the surroundings to complement the subject and adds depth to the overall image, making the composition feel more dynamic and well-integrated. Learning  From this assignment, I learned that positioning the subject slightly off-center often results in a more visually appealing photograph than keeping it in the exact middle. This approach creates a natural sense of balance and gentle m ovement, drawing the viewer’s eye across the ...

  13th Sept'25 Shoot 4  Motion Freeze Motion freeze in photography refers to capturing a fast-moving subject in a way that it appears perfectly sharp and still, without any visible blur. This is achieved by using a fast shutter speed (e.g., 1/250s, 1/500s, 1/1000s or faster, depending on the subject’s speed). The technique is often used in sports, wildlife, or action photography to highlight details that the human eye might miss, such as a droplet of water mid-air or an athlete in motion. By freezing movement, the photographer emphasizes precision, clarity, and a sense of immediacy in the moment. Falling Matches, capturing this freeze was not an easy task perfectly timing every shot to get that one satisfying motion freeze showing a couple of matches completely still as if they were hanged and not falling. spinning my batmobile (bike) keys and capturing that spin in the dark, also the exposure of this image wasnt set low but the overall lighting of the room was low and on to...

 13th Sept'25 Shoot 3  (AT HOME) Playing with Exposure (again) In this assignment, we explored the impact of exposure on photographic composition. The task was to experiment with different levels of exposure by intentionally creating overexposed and underexposed shots. The aim was to observe how varying light levels influence the mood, clarity, and overall visual balance of an image, but this time at home.  The exposure is set for the darker, ambient parts of the scene, which causes the brightest elements the lights on the stall to become washed. This means a complete loss of detail turning this into pure white areas. However, this approach makes the details in the shadows and the background clearly visible. Original the exposure is set correctly for the brightest part of the image (the stall's lights), preserving all the detail within them, prioritizing the frame (the lights), the shadows and the darker background are dark as hell, meaning they lose all detail and mer...

 12th Sept'25 Shoot 2  (IN CLASS) Playing with Exposure In this assignment, we explored the impact of exposure on photographic composition. The task was to experiment with different levels of exposure by intentionally creating overexposed and underexposed shots. The aim was to observe how varying light levels influence the mood, clarity, and overall visual balance of an image.  Many highlights are blown out, and subtle details like the wood texture and the subject’s facial features are lost. The overall feel becomes flat and washed out, with less depth and contrast. Original (Faculty Office) Details in the background and on the subject are harder to see, creating a moody, almost dramatic effect. It draws attention to the brighter edges of the frame but hides finer textures. The bright areas are blown out; details in the leaves, the wall, and even parts of the subject’s clothing are lost. The whole image feels harsh and washed out, with much less depth. the overexposure...
