Photowalk project

Here’s one of those shots i liked composition wise - shot during the 8th Chennai photowalk.

Last weekend was my second photowalk in St. Thomas Mount and I thoroughly enjoyed. Kudos to CCG for organising this. I am particularly grateful coz i am one of those guys who like to shoot indoors with objects. I am less of people photographer. Candids are alien to me. This is a good opportunity to learn photographing people in a natural way :)

Personally, one of the pressing/delicate aspects of digital photography was the ethics in post processing.

Here we go with mine.

I do:
Crop my photos in Photoshop to make it better composition wise. BTW the above one was not cropped.
Fine tune the brightness/contrast/exposure and black values in RAW format to make it better.
Convert color to BW.

I do not:
Add elements
Remove unwanted elements.
Apply filters.

This photowalk project plus the advantages of post processing has rekindled my interest in photography. I think this blog is gonna see lot more photographs in the days to come.
