Around same time Maggi was introduced, 2 minutes noodles, sans any elaborate cooking. Became a craze with kids of my generation, we named one of my neighbors ‘Maggi’ because every afternoon, after coming back from school, he would go to grocery store and ..read more

Recently during a discussion about food photography on Clubhouse, the topic of flat lay came up. These days most of the food photographs we are seeing are taken from a top angle, camera parallel to subject. Does the top angle aka flat lay always work?

One way to avoid distortion for low angle ..read more

When I was l learning photography around 22 years back, tried to explore all the genres of photography. Closeup or macro photography has always fascinated me, bringing out the fine details in a subject which our eyes fail to notice. Since I didn’t want to spend money on a macro lens, started using the closeup filters. The closeup filters, when mounted on a lens help in reducing the working distance between subject and camera. Most telephoto lenses are designed to focus on distant subjects, these are not meant to be used at shorter distance. Here Macro lenses come into play for for photographin ..read more
