--Dashboard-- "Throw of Joy"

"Throw of Joy"

Friends,

This time I am before you with a photograph, “Throw of Joy”. It was one fine evening with pleasing patches of clouds in sky. I was on a terrace and noticed these children playing with their balls. They were repeatedly throwing the balls towards sky and then catching them back. This act seemed to give them unlimited joy. I found an opportunity to get a nice shot. I managed to click with a low view point so that the mood of children and the  throw of ball could be captured in a dramatic way. I went close to these children and sat on my knees. I pointed my camera towards them and asked them to make a few throws of balls for me. They, very happily, agreed and repeated their act. I continuously clicked and finally got a satisfactory shot which is before you. A Canon Powershot, A-580 compact camera was used to take this photograph with KIDS & PETS option. Since I was clicking the act of children by going extremely close to them, the camera’s lens was set at wide end. This resulted into a dramatic effect.
While shooting such shots we should keep some points in our mind: 

 (1) We should choose an unusual view point to add extraordinary effects in our pictures. (2) We have to apply a high shutter speed in order to capture the moment perfectly (if we are using a SLR camera). If we are having a compact camera, sports mode or kids/pets mode are useful. (3) We should aim at portraying the true feelings of human beings. (4) We have to be very careful for the safety of our camera. A small negligence can damage our equipment.
