The tonality!

We as photographers, tend to create photos which are appealing in colors, composition, subject, light etc. But often we forget one important factor, Tonality. Tonality is an important part of any photograph which enhances the beauty of the picture if achieved properly. The tonal ranges help in achieving long lasting impression on the viewer also helps the user to connect to the image. Here is an attempt to achieve the tonal ranges alone. I might publish few more images on the similar lines. Appreciate your feedback.

I took this image in Tanzania last year. It's called Mlambe falls. 3 km of refreshing trek lead to this magnificent falls. Note: Click on the image to see it full screen.

Year 2011 - Rewind!

Year 2011 is over, its time to look back at the images I made this year. I found this year to be much more fruitful in terms of learning and experiments. This is the year when I moved from routine close up shots to experimental shots. Made a conscious decision to make different compositions.

Ranganthittu, a famous Bird Sanctuary near Mysore hosts many migratory birds. A quick chat with my friend resulted in fulfilling my wish to visit this place after a long gap. This time my expectations were to get few different compositions. Like always nature had other plans. Below are few of my attempts at getting different perspectives.
