Photographers at work
Hey folks,
It is time to explore your beloved Indore, once again… it is time to pick up your camera, look at your city from the eyes of a tourist and click some interesting photos.
It is time for the Second Annual Worldwide Photowalk at Indore.
Photowalks are a casual get-together of photography lovers. Yes, you do not need to know photography, nor do you need a fancy camera to participate. You just need to love photography and love the company of all kinds of photography lovers ranging from amateur-cell-phone-camera photographers to professional-studio-owning-photographers.
A very easy and quick way to add drama and uniqueness to your photo is to get as close to your subject as possible. The idea is to remove as much of the background and edges of the photo as you can from the photo and keep only the basic things in the photo that define your subject.
Basically, you want to fill the entire frame (photo) with your subject in such a manner that the viewer does not see the edges of the subject e.g. you don’t see anything from the background in the photo of Buster, my German Shepherd, above.
Photoshare, a service of Knowledge for Health (K4Health), and the International Vaccine Access Center at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in partnership with the Global Coalition against Child Pneumonia are organizing a photography competition called “The 2010 Photoshare World Pneumonia Day Photo Contest”.
Deadline: May 31st, 2010
Submit entry by post or by email (along with the Entry Form) to: photoshare@k4health.org
Contest Categories
- Africa
- The Americas
- Europe and Central Asia

*Participants may submit one photo per category (5 photos maximum).
One of the best people photos are the ones in which the background is blurred and the person is sharply in focus.
This blurred background is also known in photographic circles as “bokeh”.
Here are some means of achieving a smooth bokeh (without using photoshop or any other post processing technique)
- Shoot in Aperture Priority (A or Av) mode. Set your aperture to the smallest value (e.g. f/1.8 or f3.5 etc)
This opens your aperture to the largest possible size in your lens
