" Imagination" - An Art of Seeing

 


Greetings to all,

A warm and hearty welcome to my blogspot. Each image carries a tale, much like this one. Within this frame, you can perceive the vibrant colours of students and teachers, a harmonious blend captured on the canvas of August 17, 2023.


Our esteemed guest in the realm of wildlife photography, Mr. Kaushik Ghelani, graced our Department with his presence. The ceremonial embrace, both floral and verbal, was bestowed upon sir by Riya and Avni. Dilip sir offered  overview, underscoring the significance of constructive critique—a facet as crucial to life as it is to photography. One must open their mind's sails and embrace the teachings, for photos serve as conduits of the everyday tale.


During the inaugural session, Kaushik sir urged us to converse, contemplate, and enact, exemplifying the evolution of a plant. Cultivating one's artistic sensibilities demands a unique perspective, as photography, like life itself, resists being taught conventionally. The chasm between capturing an image and serendipitously seizing a moment is vast, bridged only by the aesthetic essence that orchestrates a photograph's symphony.



The equipment, however, is must when you persuing such field, but your eyes can be your camera. 
  • Rule of 3rd
  • Golden point
  • Central focus Rule 
  • Symmetry 
  • Geometrical Shapes
  • Head leading room
  • Depth of field 

 1. The Rule of Thirds: An image partitions into three segments—foreground, midground, and background. The subject, strategically, may be positioned on either side.
#The journey, akin to the skies, extends boundlessly.
Applying this technique to the photograph, I found myself guided by these principles. Yet, Kaushik sir's astute guidance highlighted the potential for intrigue. Averse to a negative backdrop, an engaging subject reigns supreme. Photography, indeed, fosters humility.

2. The Golden Point: The subject should seize the viewer's central focus.


#Within the sphere of domesticity, wildlife thrives.

This snapshot demanded my ardor, as the subject was initially reticent. Gradually, tranquility enveloped him. The harmonious coexistence of domesticated creatures and humanity breathes life into this tableau. Kaushik sir's discerning eye underscored the need to fill the negative space below.

3.Symmetry: Here, we encounter the mirrored visage of the subject.


#Water mirrors, though a blur.

Venturing onto the campus, I embarked on capturing symmetrical beauty. Geometric contours converged, etching an indelible impression.

4.Depth of Field: A playground for rule-breaking.

#A leap into freedom's embrace.

Guided by the sinuous branches, our gaze journeys towards the subject. Insights gleaned from such explorations enrich our craft.




In this perpetual quest for knowledge, wisdom becomes the compass. Embracing the mantle of a student remains indispensable, irrespective of the path chosen. Our sagacious mentor emphasized that true photographic odysseys unfurl only once our archives shed their vestiges.

Embarking on an inaugural escapade, we travelled the Department and campus. To our astonishment, diversity of fauna, insects, and trees wonders unfolded before us. We immersed ourselves in the symphony of nature, an orchestra composed of shutter clicks.
This session proved a trove of enlightenment. Profound gratitude extends to Kaushik sir, Vaidehi mam, and Dilip sir, who kindled this luminous voyage.

With heartfelt thanks.
