Looking back 2012...


And finally the year ends... Just don't know whether to be happy or sad.. By the way here are the list of things I did and enjoyed...

i) On January I got promoted to 10th standard. Afterwards in February I organised a photography exhibition in our school on the occasion of Saraswati Puja showcasing photographs snapped by the talented junior photographers of our school... The exhibition got good response from the students, teachers, parents and the visitors...

 ii) From the beginning to the end of this year i continued unfolding the magics of photography (after my initial learning programme by Anirban Saha)

iii) Nothing special happened between March to August... Thus I spent the time photshoping and experimenting...

iv) 5th August was my birthday... In august I was spending my most of the time trying to figure out how to showcase my photographs to the public. Then I discovered Blogger.com.... I made a photography blog for myself and made the first blog post on 19th August.

vi) On 16th August my photograph was published in TTIS- a weekly newspaper from The Telegraph..

vi) In October I made a blog post Smoke Photography(edited) for which I got a huge response.
In fact at that time I got the highest web traffic.

viii) In November I had a hell of a fun in Jagatdhatri puja..

ix)This year I made 17 blogpost including this one.. quite good I think as i started blogging from mid august...

x) And as the year ends the board exams are coming near and thus my fear is also growing...
I have to score 85% marks yo get a Nikon D5100..
SO WISH ME LUCK!!!

In short this was a heck of a year..

Light Motion


"Playing with the torch can yield good result" I learnt this today....
Light Motion pictures can be tiring and boring during the shoot... but after you get the results you will think that all the sweats are worth for...
Publishing a few light trail pictures...








And to be honest I used a wired structure for the portrait of Gandhi ji... :-P

A day at the field :-)


Spent the yesterday evening in a nearby field..
Saw these children with a bat and ball and I was armed with my camera..
So here is the outcome of the combination...
Hope you like it... :-)
