Happy Holi....

Happy Holi to all of you.... this is my 3rd holi which I am missing being outside of India :( . So this time I thought lets celebrate it with some food colours ....

Exif: Canon T1i f/11, 1/60 ISO 200
Flash - Vivitar DF383

The set up- though the flash is not visible, it was directed from above towards background to get the reflected light through the water.

The Smoke....

I had fun taking these incense stick smoke photographs ....there are tons pictures of such smoke photographs on the net so I wanted to try it myself. I have used slim box to direct the flash light on the smoke and avoid it spilling over the black background. It is interesting to see how many nice smoke formations comes out of that little incense stick which we don't observe otherwise....

Here is the set up

Zack Arias....

Zack Arias is a guest blogger to my photography Blog....how does that sound? Zack is a great photographer and I wish one day he would be a real guest blogger on this  Blog-spot. I just picked this video from online resources and placed it here. This guys has inspired lot of photographers through his work and story of struggled life he went through. This short video is so touching, haunting and inspiring...which describes his story in his words..


If possible I would definitely like to attend Zack's One Light Workshop
