Blur photography...

Been experimenting with blur photography for a while. To reach this picture I clicked about hundred and twenty one times and I was on the brink of madness while my wife calmly posed with our youngest child for more than an hour. During the course of this time rest of the family had their breakfast. I was happy with the her impression in the frame when finally this image came up. But my son turned his head away in anger at the nick of the moment signalling me to stop my hot pursuit then and there. I meekly obeyed and hence this picture.

This picture faintly achieved the Byzantine iconography look which was one of my goals while shooting.

landscape....

family

When I took this picture, I didnt feel anything special about it. It was shot as a series of shots taken as the family walked across the empty rocky patch of land next to our flat. But when I watched it on my pc, I was impressed with the framing where the family is positioned between the rocks and the rocks like they were ready for an ambush. And then I noticed that the mother's position in the frame gave the feeling that she was levitating. I dont know how many of you feel this illusion.

Then I wanted to give the picture a Holga look. By the way I purchased a Holga from ebay and I got it day before yesterday. Will be taking pictures asap.

Break after baptism....

I was attending a Baptism of one of my relative's kid, couple of days after Christmas last year. These are the only times when I go inside a church, so I moved around to get some pics. Then, I saw the Godmother breaking away from the group and heading for the altar. She sniffed around for a few seconds, then put the baby on this green mat, stepped back a few feet and looked at the whole setting. Satisfied with the scene she went back to the group.
I like the artistry of the ordinary people....
