Photographs at a Chinese Temple, Malaysia.

These are the pictures I had taken at a Chinese Temple at Malaysia. Some months ago, I had been to Malaysia and had visited this wonderful place. I can call this place 'a true wonder!'. The place was quiet and was similar to those seen on Chinese movies.  Orange colored lamps were hung at every part of the temple. Once you enter the main hall, you will be greeted by big golden statues. And one more thing. It was very different from Indian temples. There were only a few people in the temple premises. You can even see the dragons and paintings of Kings. There were flower shaped candles kept in front of the statues.

I clicked all these pictures using my Nikon D5100 with 18-55mm lens which can be the best duo for photographing these kind of places. As I had to keep moving around the temple, I had set the camera to Priority mode, which eventually made my work easier. All I can say is I just loved the place and it was fun photographing out there!!
Hope you people like these too. Make sure you comment if you do. I will be very happy to reply back! I will upload more of my photographs at Malaysia in the next post. Till then... Bye! Sayonara!

       

Horrifying Rain

We all love rain! Don't we? 

It had just stopped raining and the whole lithosphere was wet and filled with water droplets. In some areas, the affect of rain was pleasing and in some, a bit horrifying. This post is connected to these words:
'rain - black and white - emotions - droplets'

And my task was to capture these moments along with my friend - Nikon D5100. The reason why I chose B&W is clear. It was because I wanted to bring out the emotions of my subjects. But if I had to take photographs of droplets on flowers or something else, I would surely use Vivid! In the below picture you can see what rain has done to a wooden door. 

I had used a lot of time clicking these photographs.  The one main reason was that I used the Manual Mode in clicking these. Had to choose the appropriate ISO, aperture, shutter speed and focusing modes. Actually it's of great fun using the Manual mode because you learn a lot doing that. And one more thing, whatever kind of photographer you are, you really need to know how to use the Manual mode. 

Okay guys, that's all for this week! Check out other posts too. More in the next week.. 

5 Reasons why you must have a Tripod!

Hey there! Nowadays, I don't find time updating my blog. I have hundreds of photos that I can post but no time! Busy indeed. I am very happy that today I could post something. I really wanted to post something different this week. Here it is, my new post 5 Reasons why you must have a Tripod.

''Why do people use tripod for photography?'' This was one question I really had in my mnd for months. I was fascinated to buy one soon after I knew the reason. Actually, tripods can be very very very useful while taking pictures. From a hobbyist to a professional photographer, it can be useful for any kind of photographer you are. Okay, below are the 5 reasons you should have one.

1. If you are new to photography, make sure you buy a tripod along with a DSLR. When you are using an SLR for the first time, you may not get proper images. Sometimes, images look blurred out. This is because of camera shake. And you will get rid of this once you are comfortable with your camera which may take a long period. So, till you get comfortable you can buy a tripod, which be a good companion.
2. If you are a landscape photography enthusiast, you really need one. While capturing better pictures of landscapes you need to switch your camera to a slower shutter-speed. The reason why a slow shutter speed is used is that, this will cause wonderful effects. Sometimes the sky looks like heaven and your landscapes will be filled with the right amount of light. Although, when you have no tripods, this will result in camera shake. This may also apply when you are doing waterfall photography.
3. Tripods can even mean a lot when you are doing sport photography which includes pictures of fast moving objects. The lens used for this purpose may seem a bit difficult to be hand-held. So, tripod is a good option. Moreover, it also allows you to your preferential shutter-speed.
4. Many people have a wrong notion that tripods are a bit problematic when you are carrying it to different places. But that's wrong. Actually you can fold your tripod and keep it in a bag. A school bag or laptop bag can also be used for this purpose. That means, tripods are handy.
5. Tripods are not only used to balance your cameras. It can even act as a flash light holder an more. That's why you will find tripods in studios. Actually they are very useful for a photographer!
