I don't know whether the beauty of photography lies in the art and the science of the shots taken or is the luck of the guy who just happens to be at the right place at the right time. What i know is that i have fallen in love. And that too with my digicam. My romance with it started during our rural Internship last December in Rishikesh and I fell for it fully in dehradun, a photographer's dream.
Before dehradun the words like ISO, exposure and shutter time meant nothing to me. But a little introduction to my camera by my sister got me to know it much better, and in time fall in love with it and the magical pictures I could click with it. The FRI (forest research institute) campus in dehradun is so beautiful and picturesque it is that it is really a photographer's haven. Since then, life has changed for me. I've begun to see the places, wherever i go in a different light, always trying to find the best angles, thinking how I can capture the objects in the best lighting schemes, deciding upon exposure times. I had the same feeling as i had had the first time I wore my spects. The same joy I feel again and again, whenever i have my fingers on the flash button. The feeling of doing something creative along with it being such an enjoyable experience creates a real bliss.
This led me to see our college campus in wholly new light too. The campus of our institute is indeed one of the most picturesque in the country, but at 6 am in the morning, it can be a much more enchanting place. You can just take the camera and wander aimlessly here and there, and end up capturing many beautiful shots, even the peacocks can be caught roaming about much freely and you can just click away merrily.
We’re planning something fun soon, for Synapse, our college fest. Will post stuff about it soon. Keep reading… :)
