Festive Season

This is festival time in India.

Each and every province and states have their own festival which is in one way are unique and
interesting.
In West Bengal Durga Puja is one of the biggest festival which  involving corporate money and sponsorship,big business.In this period of time specially starting from July and end to November, Bengali people used to buy cloths,jeweleries,shoes and investing huge amount of  moneys on their looks,figure and health.In that period there is always have hope and chance for getting partner.
Its proved that if a businessman failed to make profit and not minting money out of  this festive time,then there will be full chance of getting starve in whole year.
This phenomena is understood by every sellers.That's why I have a notion that Durga puja is ramp show of Bengali Hindus.
Anyway I would like to show some rituals related to Durga puja.
One is Vermillion play or in Bengali its sindoor khela,which is quite colorful and at the same time I just spellbound to see that how a Bengali woman used to wear such jeweleries.

Silent,Election going on.

                           

Again election has come in India,with pomp and show.
Perhaps the biggest fanfare in the world.
Who exactly knows how many crores and billions will spend for the peoples "Election"?
But that much confirmed that who else will come in power could change nothing.

Each and every party publishing their manifestos.I have every doubt that manifestos are written after
consultation or discussion rather there is every possibilities of hiring 'Ad mans' for their copy writing.
May have chance that agency using those copy-writer who are just recruited.This is the right time to
practice copy writing.In real sense party manifestos hardly reflects any peoples concerns.The true design of
democracy already understood by the citizens of India.

Election give so many jobs to so many people I really admire those parties who at-least show their power of expenditure.Say fastoon,placard makers,banner maker,all they get sufficient profit for their next business venture from a election.You can not say that this election can do nothing.

 
What about people of India? The true Indians who are  living below poverty?Who cares whether they spending 30 rupees or 20 rupees a day?Everyone judging or comparing life styles of urban people,who bother to think of rural people ?

Who bothers scams?Who bothers mud throwing?Personal De-masking as campaigning.
People are starving,their hardship for sustenance push them at the corner,where they will go?
These days people hardly get news of Farmers suicide,hot topics of the News Papers are 'rape' now.
Are anybody willing to understand why sudden this factor rises?Why so many incident of atrocities rises over the women?This proves the clear indication of social unrest.Women are the most soft and weak target,people really don't understand the cause of their deteriorating financial health,their  dreams are shattered,their hardship do not show any light of hope.Low calorie intake make them frail and sick.Anger is continuously brewing inside but they really don't understand where to burst,they found only women where they could atleast satisfy their physical might,their deeming valor of fighting.What a tragic situation. The social disparity make their position worse than slaves.All their money systematically pick pocketed by the unseen system or a conglomerate of rulers,business houses.So poverty is really a great need for the election or for permanent settlement of the parties who want to rule.
Isn't it time to ask who are real culprits for damaging our social frame works,who creating such social mess on lieu of interests of big companies?
If this is not a right time to ask,then suffice to say that they forced people to be slave for ever in near future.

I will presenting a series on common man of India.
I will publish 1 photo in 3 days.
Hope you enjoy

My own city Kolkata

Kolkata is always fascinating place for photographer.
All over the city is combination of old and new.Its really rare in every respect.
Couple of  days back, me and one of  my friend went for a morning walk along with our  cameras to observed the city in the morning.
Kolkata is really amazing and beautiful  in the morning.The soft light creating magic.It seemed the known places were unknown its like sudden change of little girl to her teenage,It is a beauty of nature,the transformation.Each and every transformation in nature,time, space are always  wonder for human I am not exception.In morning just near the Howrah bridge I  found lots of beggar in ques for a breakfast provided by the businessmen of bada bazar.They  always fearing god and for avoiding wrath  perhaps provide food to the poor people.In the morning they really serve good meals to the beggars.

Howrah bridge is still  definitely an eye catcher, stealing all the shows,why not? If  just a 2 years old bridge collapsed without notice, this colossus bridge was not only an engineering marvel stand erect with pride but also an example of honesty. The contractors,manufacturing departments hobnobbing with clouts creating defects in manufacture and increasing chances of risking civil life,because they have no priority of planning rather making big bucks from people exchequer. Thanks to the British at-least they made something for which we are proud of ...........

Anyway that morning was really pleasant for all means,wonderful lighting,not so humid overall a satisfying morning for a photo session.I tried to take some photographs.Got few shots for you.

Hope will enjoy.

Happy shuttering.

Stage Photography

 

                          Stage Photography is one of the toughest medium of photography.

There are so many factors are involved with this kind of photography.The main problem with this photography is lens and light.If the illumination of the stage is not proper you will get noisy photo for that you have to edit for reducing noise.Another factor is lens,if you use block and fast lens you will get less noisy photographs in compare to the zoom lens.

I am always enjoying stage photography.

Here I presenting you few snaps on Stage photo hope will enjoy and do comments and criticism for more developments.
