Report Photos



Recently, I participated in a photography exhibition and got to see a variety of photos, by various photographers. The exhibition included all kind of photography, abstract, landscape, portrait, wildlife etc.

Some of the photographs were really awesome to comment on, perfect timing and freeze frame!

When you look at a picture it should amaze you either by its content or by its technical excellence. it doesn't matter whether it is edited or not!!

The only thing which I learned in this exhibition is that "it doesn't matter what camera you possess, the only thing which matters, is the perspective of the camera man, and the implementation of it which reaches to audience through his images!!"



I got to see a lot of excellent wildlife photographs. Greater Flamingos in flight, standing in the still water, spotbill mother with chicks, purple sky landscapes, and lot of portraits! These are not so different kind of compositions. These are common, people look at them as if they are reporting something, I mean...see, there is a flamingo, there is this spotbill etc. etc. The report photographs are essentially telling something, if whatever they are telling is uncommon/ weird, then it might make a good composition. All the above mentioned compositions are good, no doubt! But photographically, something unusual makes the news! Like the orchid which I have given here as an example, and look at the snake below, even it is a risky task to capture the hood of the cobra, the orchid composition is interesting than the cobra one, both are equally good though!! :-)
