Unfocussed in the Park
April 17th, 2010
The dusk mood in a Jaipur (Rajasthan, India) park where I went regularly for winter evening walks fascinated me and I thought of capturing it with the compact camera that I carried in a waist pouch: Canon PowerShot A720 IS. Owing to low available light, some of the initial attempts to capture the mood were unsuccessful as most photographs came out shaky due to slow shutter speed, ISO 400 was the maximum I could go up to to retain reasonably good image quality with a small sensor cam. It then occurred to me that detail was not important in arresting the mood so I took a series of photograph using A720 IS’s manual focus mode, deliberately ‘unfocussing’ all the shots. With blurred photographs, camera shake ceased to be an issue
and loss of detail enhanced the mood, imho. Here are some of the results (taken on March 18 and 19, 2010):















Submerged in Fog
October 18th, 2009
Here are some photographs taken in foggy conditions at Mount Abu, Rajasthan (in July 2007) and at Sultanpur National Park, Haryana (in March 2008). In both situations, I tried to make use of the two gifts that the fog offered: a natural impressionistic feel and natural isolation of elements.
