  I always mentioned in my blogs that every photographer must carry or use a tripod for a better photography career. but here some things are pretty opposites that I ever mentioned in my blogs. There are few photography genres were carrying a tripod is a headache, unnecessary accessory etc. Wildlife photography never allows a tripod to carry and use. Carrying a tripod for wildlife photography may create some issues. let discuss those issues when carrying a tripod.  Tripod's issues  Carrying a tripod is an extra weight on your shoulder, which may make you tired soon A tripod can distract you to capture animals, birds and other species Sometimes you do not get a better place to settle your tripod fixing and unfixing a tripod consume more time, energy and sometimes you spend the whole day adjusting the tripod.  A tripod hardly supports you to capture better shots in wildlife photography. Well. when there is no tripod required to shoot wildlife animals then hand-handled photography

As I always preferred and advise to shoot a portrait in natural light. I always admired natural light as my favourite light for the correct, great and impressive exposures. Here I would like to mention that portrait shoot in natural light creates MAGIC and Marvellous Photographs. But there are end numbers of beginner photographer always scares of HARSH Light and other un-controlling situation. But if someone is looking for a better career option in photography then controlling the situation is your win-win situation and will elevate you for the better photographer. There are end numbers of excuses are given by the photographer to avoid portrait in natural light. Let's understand the excuses. Who will take the location's permission to shoot? Model's Protection issues for the outdoor shoot? Who will handle other public, who may interrupt the shooting?   Handling photography equipment and other accessories are a headache Heat may spoil the model's make-up etc every time

  Most of my student, beginner photographer always ask one common question, 'Which is the best light for photography" The answer is, Morning light is the best light to shoot travel, landscape, even portrait, models, etc. Even film shoot are always shot in the morning light.   It is not only my opinion but it is a universal truth. Every filmmaker, photographer, videographer etc always preferred to shoot in the morning light and It cut your cost also. If anybody looking for serious photography, videography etc then start experiment with morning light. Morning light is a blessing for photography, If anybody is capable of handling natural light, morning light then no one can stop you to become a better successful photographer. Now let's discuss why morning light is better and why we need to choose morning light to shoot.  Let's discuss the few important things to choose better morning light. No pollution/No Dust - When you reach a spot to shoot in the morning. Before th

  Shapes & forms are quite interesting and confusing topic to understand. But it is highly in-depth content of the photography. I am sure hardly a photographer ever discuss this topic to understand photography better. Every scene contains both shapes and forms because everything is a mixture of both, which is more interesting for a photographer that matters for him to capture. Let's discuss both the concept in little details to clarify the confusion of both. Shapes -  A two-dimensional ( length, breadth but no depth)  outline of the subject or object that you capture. Light coming from the front and fall off on the subject, make more flat and two-dimentional image. See the below-posted image, an example of a two-dimensional image. Forms  - Forms is also connected somewhere with the shapes, A three-dimensional ( length, breadth, and depth .)  aspect created by lights and shade is called forms whears as light falls off on the subject from right, left side or sometimes light f

  There are endless techniques, tips, creatives, light's condition, framing and composition, photography equipment, locations etc to create one good photograph. Every content is equally important to photography. But there is one important content is called COMPOSITION, If this content is not treated so well then the entire photograph can be spoiled. Must view other photograher's composition and feel the difference.  What is photography composition - How do you arrange all the elements in the photograph to capture. Combination of all the existing element and put all together beautifully/creatively is called a better composition. I must mention here that all the beginner photographer are never worried about composing the scene, all of them are in hurry to capture or keep on pressing the shutter button. There are special classes on photography composition in the advanced courses of photography. Photographers spend a hell of a lot of time finalizing all the important element in

 Professional Photograph (Sample- My shot) Hobbyist/freelancer Photograph (Sample- My shot) What is the difference between a professionally shoot and a hobbyist/freelancing shoot? Both of this option carrying one thing common that is photography and the rest is all uncommon. I have always interacted with lots of my clients. They are always asking me to shoot and when I discuss all the requirement before the shoot or preplanning of the photoshoot. My client always ask why all these things are required? They suggested that I should come along with the camera and shoot quickly, delivered the photographs to the clients on the same day. But for a professional photographer, it is not possible.  The reason behind this attitude, They always got their job done by the hobbyist photographer and Hobbyist photographer are not having any professional attitude, they are only doing these shoot only for pocket money, they are not concerned with post-processing, preplanning etc even they are not wor

Today is WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY, It is our responsibility to protect our environment for longer and healthier life. On this occasion, I have chosen a topic which is related to our environment. Finally, I am writing on flower photography on this great day. But to be honest flower photography is as tough as other photography genres, Please do not take this genre very lightly because flower must create emotions and feelings for your viewers  Let's discuss how can we shoot flower and their natural beauty. Must plant a flowering plant, tree etc - We must plant more and more trees today to have healthier life for us and for an upcoming new generation. At least we must plant good plants in our home gallery too etc. Everyone should be a nature lover. Check the wind speed - Whenever you planning to move out to shoot flower spacially then the first things to be checked that is none other than THE WIND. The wind is capable to shake flowers here and there. Check with google weather

Being a photographer or when we start photography, In the beginning, we look forward to having better equipment, better location, better techniques, better teachers, better, exclusive, beautiful and impressive subject etc. We had already the mindset that only a beautiful subject can be looked beautiful in the photographs or only the celebrities can be looked beautiful, dashing etc in the photographs. We spend lots of time, energy and sometimes years to find out the better subject to shoot. Due to this habit or attitude most of the photographer dilutes and never become a better and creative photographer. Here we need to change our fixed mindset. Somebody quotes " Photography is an art to convert normal and ugly subject to beautiful subject" In my humble opinion I too agree with this quote. I wish every beginner photographer must believe in this if they are looking better future in photography.  Let's discuss a few important points to become a more creative and better ph
