Shoot 17


Adalaj 

for this shoot, we were taken to Adalaj Stepwell and assignment was, take photos. thats it, take good photos paly with the setting in lightroom..so this is how it went. 




has a picture ever intimidated you?




never a staircase like this at adalaj, wonder which room it leads to, dont you think?


found growing out on the topmost step on the roof 


its fascinating how the wall in the black frame is actually wall behind but something makes it look like that is a carved stone just kept in the middle and how the wall merges so beautifully with the reflection in the water

 

love at Adalaj?

the best about adalaj for me was capturing this lil guy, literally giving me a feeling of wildlife photographer, capturing something so small from so close trying to capture its sheer details








and there we go another with, this time even closer




Observation 

well photographing at Adalaj, i really enjoyed exploring both the big and small things around me. Playing with different angles, using reflections in the water, and noticing tiny details like plants or little insects made the images feel more alive , some shots focused on steps or architectural patterns, while others captured close-up, Overall, the photos feel curious and thoughtful, like they’re asking the viewer what they see

Learning

this shoot taught me how much light, and framing and obviously the editing can change the way a photo feels playing with angles, distance, and composition helped me see both the large architecture and the small details in a new way. It showed me that photography isn’t just about capturing what’s in front of you, it’s about noticing, exploring, and presenting it in a way that tells a story

Shoot 4

  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...

Shoot 3

 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...

Shoot 5

   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...
