Sumit kiumar bhalotia: photography tips

Here are some common photographytechniques and tips to improve your capturing experience.

1.     Focus on the eyes

Manually select an AF point that’s positioned over one of your model’s eyes, or use the central focus point to lock focus on their eye. While eye contact is not always desirable in a portrait, sharp eyes certainly are. 

Then, with the shutter release half-pressed to keep the setting locked, recompose your picture before taking the shot.

2.     Use a standard lens

Wide-angle lenses are a great choice for photographing environmental portraits, where you want to show a person within a specific context.

A better choice for portraits is either a standard lens or a short telephoto lens.

The classic portrait focal lengths for a full-frame camera are 50mm, 85mm prime lenses and a 70-200mm zoom.

These will help to compress features and provide a more natural-looking result.

3.     For micro magnification

 If you take off your lens and hold it in front of the camera, you get a macro lens!  I was really skeptical about this, but I just tried it and it worked like a charm. This is the coolest camera trick I’ve seen in a long time.

4.     Using window light.        

You don’t need an expensive home studio lighting kit to take amazing portraits – a window and a reflector can help you achieve stunning natural results without spending too much.

Position your model at an angle to the window and use a white or silver reflector to open up any shadows across their face. A silver reflector will give a crisper quality of light than a white one, although the effect won’t be as subtle.

Be aware of any color casts that may be introduced by features on the other side of the glass  as well – a lush green lawn can give skin tones a sickly quality, while late evening sunlight on a patio will reflect lots of warm light.

Photography: The Communication (Sumit kumar bhalotia)

A set of words can be arranged in different ways and can mean accordingly. Similarly, the elements of a view can be arranged differently and can convey different stories accordingly. It all depends upon the skill of the eye of the photographer.

A photograph is a way in which a photographer communicates.

Behind the colors of a canvas are forged those words. It’s only the matter how you pick it up to view it. As I said, a set of words can be arranged anyhow, can perceived anyhow.

So how do we truly capture the story that there in front of us in the view, in that moment?

This is what Communication in photography is to me (sumit kumar bhalotia).

The most important element of this idea is that communication is a two way process.

 The photographer might master the skill to capture “It” the way “It” is.

But can the viewer view it in the way that brings to him or the the totality of the story condensed in that frame?

The way I find it, it can only be viewed as it is by a thoughtless mind, like a new born’s first gaze.

Photography: The versatility (Sumit kumar bhalotia)

There is something different in the way of viewing things now as compared to previous ages. The idea that we can now capture views has given our stream of thoughts a new direction. We have developed a basic idea to view things within the perspective of capturing it. With the eye of a painter to amplify the most tenuous details.

The view is the same the vision is what has evolved. You can understand this idea by thinking of a supper table, some people would see it as half empty, and some will perceive it as half full. Similarly there will be infinite common, uncommon or different visions towards a view.

This idea might seem to be baffling or confusing to some, but to me it’s something of a wonder. It gives us a canvas within its colors you can forge yourself, to paint something beautiful .And the most amazing thing is that this canvas is common to all of us, giving a unique feeling of being one. I like to call this versatility in vision.

According to me (Sumit kumar bhalotia) this versatility in vision gives us diversification in the world of photography

Photography: A way of life (Sumit kumar bhalotia)

Photography fine tunes this idea of watching things the way they are, without putting them into pre-existing thoughts, with our totality of gifted vision.

This is what “Photography-a way of life” is for me (Sumit kumar bhalotia).

In this life of a photographer there are moments where you learn, where you give, receive all unconditionally there’s purity in the artist despite of all his or her pre-defined thoughts judgments or prejudice.

The power of observance has given our mind a way of communication.

This communication is unsaid unheard and sometimes even not understood.

The power of observance is what we view, what we perceive and finally how our mind places it.

A way of life is not an escape but rather a path of refinement.

You will be amazed to learn through this experience as to how you can put infinity within a frame. The amount of details as far as you can observe and still be able to find more expands your mind your way of thinking.

It librates your vision and ultimately your thoughts..Photography-a beautiful way of life.

Sumit Kumar bhalotia: Inspired Photography

In this country of versatile culture, diverse nature,   priceless heritage

Capturing experience becomes vital for a photographer. This art of capturing experience via photography is one of the most valued as it presents to the viewer a memory, a moment which cannot be described even in a thousand words.

Thus it becomes important for a photographer to capture the finest and subtle details of the view. Sumit Kumar bhalotia photography presents to us a varied and versatile view towards photography that perpetuates within the viewer an urge of being there to explore.

In this subtle yet powerfully disguised way tourism is promoted.

India is a country where you can travel through the year and still it’ll be like you have seen just the tip of the ice berg.

There’s too much to explore thus for a photographer it becomes vital to capture and present the wholeness in a finite frame. 

This is what inspired photography represents. The art to fathom and then present the versatility of an infinite gaze within a finite dimension.

You can cherish the beauty of charming India that provides great experience of various incredible destinations of India. India invites you to prefer your own chosen destinations where you can get opportunity to enjoy its tranquility as well.

India is a vast country with different parts experience different types of climate. Also, India is one of the few countries where the weather changes after every two to three months. The spatial and temporal changes in the climate and weather in India act as a great magnet to attract tourists and enable them to enjoy the gift of nature.

There is everything for a tourist in India, starting from the Himalayas in the North and paradise unexplored in the Northeast to rich history in Central India and beautiful beaches in South India.

Technically India can be travelled throughout the year. Even in the most dreaded summer season, there are places like Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh where the weather remains very cool.  On the other hand, South India offers a warm weather to escape the freezing cold weather in North India during winters. And weather-wise Northeast should be avoided during Monsoon in India when the weather is damp and extremely humid. So all in all weather does and will play a major role in the growth of tourism this year. The varied Indian climate is a potent factor which works to attract tourists from across the globe and promote Indian tourism.
