Unveiling the Art: Essential Photography Tips for Beginners

In the age of smartphones and digital cameras, photography has become an increasingly popular hobby and form of expression. Whether you're a complete novice or someone looking to enhance your skills, these photography tips will help you capture breathtaking moments and elevate your craft.


1. Master Your Camera Settings:

Understanding your camera is crucial. Take the time to explore and familiarize yourself with its settings. Learn about aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to gain control over exposure and depth of field. This knowledge will empower you to adapt to different shooting conditions.

2. Get to Know Composition Techniques:

Composition plays a pivotal role in photography. Experiment with the rule of thirds, leading lines, and framing to add depth and interest to your shots. Don't be afraid to break the rules occasionally – creativity often flourishes in the unexpected.

3. Mind Your Lighting:

Good lighting can make or break a photograph. Pay attention to natural light, its direction, and its intensity. Early morning and golden hour (just before sunset) often offer a soft, warm light, creating a magical atmosphere. Experiment with shadows and highlights for artistic effects.

4. Stabilize Your Shots:

Blurry photos can be disappointing. Invest in a tripod for stable shots, especially in low-light situations. If you don't have one, use stable surfaces or your body to support the camera. Stabilizing your shots ensures clarity and professionalism.

5. Experiment with Different Perspectives:

Change your perspective to add a fresh dimension to your photos. Get low to the ground, climb to a higher vantage point, or shoot through interesting objects. Different perspectives can transform an ordinary scene into an extraordinary one.

6. Post-Processing is Your Friend:

While capturing the perfect shot is essential, post-processing can enhance your images further. Experiment with editing software to fine-tune colours, contrast, and sharpness. But remember, subtlety is key – aim for enhancements, not drastic changes.

7. Practice, Practice, Practice:

There's no substitute for practice. The more you shoot, the more you learn. Challenge yourself with different subjects, environments, and lighting conditions. Each photo you take is an opportunity to refine your skills and develop your unique style.


Photography is a journey of self-discovery and creative expression. Embrace the learning process, stay curious, and most importantly, enjoy the moments you capture through your lens. Happy shooting!

Extinction of Desi Games

Desi Games like Gilli Danda, Kanche, Langdi etc used to be very popular in India in the 90s and early 2000s. Especially in rural areas, these games used to be played everywhere. Even in cities, people used to enjoy such sports and leisure activities. Such games used to play a major role in the overall personality development of a person.
