9. PENCILLED WITH LIGHT

இந்தப் படம் எடுத்த ஆண்டு அனேகமாக 1980 ஆக இருக்கலாம்.

My interest in photography was born a litter earlier than my daughter was born. But since serious photography and an SLR camera, at least in those days, had an interdependance, I can very well say that in that respect my daughter becomes the senior since i bought my first SLR -MAMIYA - SEKOR when she was three. My trials and failures in photography stand out more than any achievement. In that growing period of my photographic interest my daughter served as my model - a very understanding and coperative one. Even at that age she knows to pose even for time-lapse, slow-speed shots. This photograph is one such moment.


FACES...3

Then came color photography. She started showing interest to pose only for color photos and that interest too soon vanished and she became a very demanding model and so I then switched over to other things as my models - mostly non-living things. They never demanded anything !

Could you explain about how this shot was taken ?
From the photo it looks like it is an outdoor shot with mid-day sun.

It was not a mid-day but evening; light was quite bright; she stood on a verandah and at her back was an un-lit room which became the background.

it is always said that -as you mentioned earlier in another post - B & W photos will have 'life' in them and they should 'say' something.

you sound quite interesting. why dont you come out with your photos. i will love to see them.

"
I'm a beginner in photography" - i dont think that matters. in creativity, either you are 'in' or 'out'. that's all! the years you spend does not matter.

Beautiful shot, and I liked the model and her demands, story too:-)))

Inanimate things won't demand anything... ohh awww, a realization while having a solid family ;-) amazing!

Thanks for sharing... the picture looks like one of the moon phases, the couple of her hair strands off from her right side, wud have given us more look alike of the moon crescent but with a human, nose, lips etc. :-)

Great imagination...

எப்போதும் கோணங்கள் ஓரளவு எனக்கு நன்றாக வரும். மற்றபடி சமீபத்தில்தான் DSLR வாங்கி டெக்னிக்ஸ் கற்றபடியே..... இருக்கிறேன். இன்னும் முழுமையாகத் தேறவில்லை. அனைத்தும் சரிவரத் தெரிந்த நீங்கள் கொஞ்சம் ஃபோட்டோஷாப் அல்லது பிகாஸாவில் படங்களை ப்ராஸஸ் செய்யவும் கற்றுக் கொண்டால் விரும்பிய அவுட்புட் கட்டாயமாகக் கிடைக்கும். அதற்கும் பிட் தளத்தின் பாடங்கள் உதவுகின்றன. முயன்று பாருங்கள்.
