Photography

Its purely an art ! Like other forms of art, you can only take pictures beautifully when you have already taken that photo in your mind.

No doubt, costly cameras and lenses play a big role in the amazing world of photography but the foundation is made in the mind first ! I am not on the opposite side of gadgets, but the "MUST HAVE" things which I have learned from past few years of my life in this world are the first, you should have before you get your self a camera!

1. Deep interest in nature

2. Burning Desire to explore and capture "Never repeating moments"

3. Photographic heart

4. Vision to identify beauty of a snap before it is taken

5. Experimental mind and Basic knowledge of camera.

Once, you have these things, you are done to begin/sharpen your skills on photography. One/many will argue where is the "Lighting"? Friends, let me take your eyes to the very first point of "MUST HAVE" points. It is "Deep interest in nature". 

Nature, a beautiful photograph, being changed every second ! If you drive only after lights, you will miss the sheds ! Confused? 

Let me make my self more clear. For me, "LIGHTING" is not only the presence of brightness but the absence of it ! When you adjust the absence of brightness properly in a snap and take it, it becomes a snap having completeness of lighting.

If you take a closer look in any attractive photograph, you will understand that any photograph is only beautiful when it has both balanced sides of brightness and darkness. Lighting skills can be developed easily if you can watch and learn a nature with consciousness.

Take a look for this snap and try to understand the beauty of darkness in LIGHTING !
