Are you a jerk photographer?

Are you a jerk photographer…?
Do you move around clicking photos without enjoying the moment?

Me and my friend came across a huge lion when we were travelling in a wildlife park.. Guess what he did first  as soon as someone shouted from the rear of the jeep that “ A Lion!”

He unstrapped out his expensive camera and begin to hunt  it through lens! When we could see the animal, in a blink of eye he  recorded until he was gone completely and then returned back to the world… same happened when we came across a beautiful ghat which didn’t last much.. But he was into video shooting.. Why shoot with lens when you could shoot it with your own god-gifted eyes??
I don’t understand the purpose …

Think about this.. Would you video shoot the entire roller coaster ride or just enjoy it without any artificial accessory with your both hands up? Or see a dolphin show in the same way?!

DONT YOU WANNA ENJOY IT?


Before the age of digital photographs film photography was so much cherished !!And believe me with a few photos you can become a good story teller just like our elders are!
Only 36 in a roll!! And that would be cherished from the heart… It gives us more than what 16 GB ultra zoom high tech resolution Dslr can give..

That is the beauty of rarity… The rarity principle… any thing in excess is heartless !
Enjoy it less !

    Loved it Amit :)

    I remember we been to Death vally Last fall. Abhi wanted to capture it in his Nikon D 60 SLR. He bought various new accessories for that camera especially for this trip. But first thing we notice was the place is soooooo beautiful and vast that it can not be captured in any camera. as god gave us wonderful picture he also gave us two amazing cameras with unlimited battery life and memory stick with unlimited space :)

    We should cherish the moments :)

    In essence, I agree. The need of the hour is a few good pictures. But unfortunately, the introduction of digital cameras las led to a lot of mediocre pictures being shot. So photographer usually click multiple shots hoping that a few of these would be keepers.

    But yes, enjoying the moment is also important. Unless, of course, you are shooting as a paid assignment, in which case it would be your highest priority. But if one is out with friends, visiting a place or enjoying a show, in addition to capturing it, they need to relax and enjoy the moment.

    Photos usually extend the moments, by invoking the same emotions which were experienced while capturing it :):)

To be or not to be

“Oh my God!!” Was the silent fumble from my mouth with my facial expressions hidden underneath as I looked across the screen of my laptop .I was half way through the movie “Schindler’s List ” . One of the most vicious dictatorships carried out by Nazis upon the Jews, I felt a moment of insecurity around me for an instance when the Nazi soldiers were ordered to forcefully vacant the homes of glorified Jews and throw them on streets. They executed them with a bullet in their head, raped women and hurt children at their own will and entertainment. It was a life made hell for them. They were snatched of all riches and were thrown to live into the abandoned room also dwelt by dozens of other Jews at one place. They were enforced slavery and all that they had to do was perspire blood all the day in factory and if they didn’t as per their expectations they were assassinated. The brightest of the bright talented Jews had lost their life ambi

The opposites

I had a friend whom I seem to meet almost regularly during travel to college. I would alight Karjat and he would travel to Lonavla. With this same thing happening over almost a year, we had grown into close friends. At first we used to talk about the weather and how most of the pune crowd is egoistic during travel, who wouldn’t lend their seat to us despite their spine aching from rubbing their butt against the seats. What I felt good about him was that he was always smiling and seemed to carry off his burden of hectic schedule with humor. Slowly we had deeper topics to discuss about and we almost forgot about the seats we had to catch and how sunny it was outside. We started discussing about our friends and personal life. He had turned into a best friend. One day my face didn’t seem to budge and I wasn’t talking much. The day before today, I had failed my exams  and had lost a competition which was backed by partiality. In the morning I had a fight with mom and had almos

The funny thing about exam results..

          Sipping tea in college canteen with beloved friends and fireworking joke that would crack a smile on their face… this can be one of the best moment one can spend during college days not until someone calls you and shouts from the other side “ RESULTS ARE OUT!!”                      The moment takes a twist and its takes no time to pull you back into pool of tension…                       All six of us blasted from our sits and sprinted to the top floor of our college where our result was on!!                      With heavy pumping of my breath I pondered over my result on notice board..Everyone had a falling face.. Result wasn’t that good.. I was highly disappointed to see my steady percentage.. 57 !!! They never changed right from my first year.. I had hoped for a better score..                         I settled down and isolated myself from the crowd because the marks needled me again…I was losing my ever smiling face..                         Few minutes passed as I ga
