February 2011 - Misty Morning

How I Did It

The winter has always come with a lot of fog in January in this region of India.The other day I visited the only artificial lake in my city and saw some young men enjoying rowing. The fog, to me, is a good background as it makes me hide a lot of distractions. The light in early hours of the day was yellow, but not as much as this Nikon D 80 has caught while being in programme mode with Auto white balance. I liked the ripples on both sides of the boat as the young man kept moving his boat speedily. These ripples made me move my eyes with them. The small hill to the left, I think, is enough to balance the image.

I also tried it in B&W, but some how I like the coloured image. I have just cropped it from all sides and enhanced it in Nikon's Picture Project.

 
Administrator "Food for Thought" as you make your comments:

These come from the PSA Image Analysis course, Creativity & originality, Lighting, Dimension/Perspective, Impact. How does the image make you feel? Noise and /or Grain, Focus, depth of field, Tonal range, Image Balance, Composition, Line, eye movement, Exposure, Do the elements within the frame feel comfortable. Also from the course are these suggestions; Split your comments in two, 1) Describe as many elements as you can that are done well, and why. If you have a comment you should have a reason. 2) Describe as many elements as you can that need help, and why. If you have a comment you should have a reason. If you have a fix for the problem say it here. This is where you help the maker and don't hesitate to send a small image of what you consider to be an improvement of the image.

Member Bio

Subhash Sapru APSA

 A PR man by profession and  photographer by choice, I live in Chandigarh in India where I graduated with Hons. in Geography  and  did post-graduation in  the same subject. While doing Post-graduate Diploma in Journalism, I had started my career as a freelance journalist. Later on I joined Public Relations Department of a State Government where photography is not a part of my profession.

 I had taken up the hobby of photography in my early teens and over the years my interest in this form of art and expression has grown with my age. I have been actively participating in some of the prominent international exhibitions within India and abroad since 1997 and have  held two solo shows in my home town.

Having used conventional film cameras for a long time, about two years ago I shifted to  digital photography, but with a little inhibition. Now I find it more convenient and has joined this study group to learn and improve my skill in electronic imaging. I like to capture the element of human interest and storytelling images.

 I was introduced to Photographic Society of America in 1998 and that opened new photographic opportunities for me. In the year 2008, I was awarded the distinction of APSA. I also have two stars in PJ. Earlier, in 2003 I was also made an Associate of India International Photographic Council (IIPC), New Delhi.          

Apart from being a member of PSA, I am also a Life Member of IIPC and Federation of Indian Photography (FIP), Kolkata. My contributions have been published by some of  the leading newspapers and magazines like PSA  Journal and View Finder of FIP.

I am indebted to my brother Mr Brij M. Sapru for nursing my interest in photography all these years and equally important is the support of my wife and daughter.
