This valentine, I decided to work on a photography project called “14 Days to Valentine”.
The idea was that, starting from 1st of Feb, I would click one photo everyday. The theme of the photo would be about love and each photo would be accompanied with very mushy and romantic text. And of course, all the photos would be dedicated to my beautiful wife.
Needless to say, these 14 days were the best days of my married life in quite sometime 
and I strongly recommend this “technique” to other married men/women.
Yesterday (i.e. Sunday 23rd, 2011) was an awesome day for me. The photo community that I moderate, Indore Photographer’s Community was invited by Aperture, the photography club of IIM Indore to conduct a workshop at IIM Indore during Mridang, their annual fest.
We had invited Mr. Hemshankar Pathak to conduct a workshop, followed by a photo walk in the campus of IIM, followed by a photo competition.
The thing that I learned during the workshop was that the most important aspect of any photography (or for that matter any form of art like music, poetry, dance, painting, sculptures, literature etc) is composition.

A photo is not sharp due to a combination of
- Bad photography techniques
- Bad subject
- Bad light
- Bad equipment
Today, I will talk about these issues only. In my future posts, I will discuss the various techniques that I have learned to get sharp photos.
Reason #1: Bad Photography Techniques
Most of the times, the problem is with you, the photographer. Most of us, who “graduate” from Point and Shoot camera, tend to use our DSLR in the same way i.e. like a bigger, better point and shoot camera.

A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I’ve played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.

In our photography group (Indore Photographer’s Community), we schedule regular photo walks and get-togethers. Last weekend we had been to a newly constructed Pipliyapala Regional Park, here in my city, Indore.
This park is the best place to spend an evening here in my city. Here are some photos from that trip.
All the photos were taken with Canon S90, hand held. This is the time when you appreciate the importance of wide aperture lenses (Canon S90 has f 2.0), image quality at high ISO (most of the post-sunset shots are at ISO 800) and Image Stabilization.
