Super Marco !!

When the distance between the subject and camera lens is 5 mm to 10 mm it is called Marco Photo. But the the distance between the subject and camera lens is 0 (zero) mm to 5 mm it is called Super Marco Photo !! Check the exampe below.

Picture 1


Picture 2


Picture 3

Coming soon more on marco as experiments goes on !!!!

Aperture and Depth of the Field!!!

Aperture is the size of opening in the lens when a picture is taken. When we click the photo aperture of the lens opens allowing light to fall on the sensor. Larger the aperture setting more the light gets in and vice verse.

Aperture is measured in ‘f-stops’ with typical values like f/2.8 (bigger lens opening), f/4, f/5.6, f/8 and f/22 (smaller lens openings) etc. Moving from one f-stop to the next will double or half its value. Note that the shutter speed controls time the amount of light through aperture should be exposed.

Consider the small example below. first part of picture shows bigger aperture only the tree is highlighted while smaller aperture entire house and background is visible.


This can be easy observed in two picture below with constant shutter speed of 1/60 sec.

Picture 1 with F/3.7. Subject is sharp and leaves in background are blurred and building is not visible.


Picture 2 with F/8 Subject is not as sharp as picture 1 and leaves and building are clearly visible.


So Larger Aperture (smaller f/2.7) to obtain a shallow Depth of Field and Smaller Aperture (larger f/8) to obtain a great Depth of Field.

Having control on your shutter speed and aperture setting we can have better control over exposure..coming soon... stay tuned !!!

Red Eye Effect !!!

Flash is required when there are low lighting conditions. But when trying to take a photo of human or animals then their eyes appear to be red with flash. This happens due to sudden enter of bright light enter into eyes and most of light is reflected by eyes. This reflected light is also captured by photo and eyes appear red. This is called Red Eye Effect.

Most of digital cameras have build in red-eye reduction mode which helps to remove red eye effect. What happens here is red eye reduction lamp fire when there is flash. This reduces the light reflecting back from the eyes and making them not appear red. Better results can be obtained when subject is looking right at the red-eye reduction lamp. Also, use some editing tools which help to reduce the red eye effect can be used.

Twilight !!!

Sometimes due to bad light photos cannot be sharp. But if slight hand shake during night photography can be some dramatic impact in photography. check some examples below.

Giant Wheel



City Twilight


Niagara Falls @ Night


More artistic photos can be click ... coming soon .. stay tuned.

Three Sixty Degree Angle !!!

There are times when the photos don't fit in single snap. So click photos in small size and join to get the wide angle snap. Check some examples below.

Rogers Center


Niagara Falls and Rainbow


Giant Wheel and CN Tower


Bridge to US, American Falls and Niagara Falls


Lastly Toronto Downtown


Wait for 360 degree angle photo.. coming soon ...stay tuned !!!

Chromatics !!!

Chromatics is the Science of Color at times helps to pick your Object of Interest from rest of your background. Check some examples below.

one of my best picture !!

Hope this helps you !!
