-Dash Board- "Everyday Duty"

Celebrating 5th Anniversary.........
-Dashboard-
"Everyday Duty"

This photograph, titled "Everyday Duty", was clicked in November -2010 at Someshwar, a scenic place of Uttarakhand (India). I was proceeding towards Gwaldam that is a picturesque spot of the same region. On the way I witnessed Someshwar. This place is famous for its pictorial farm-fields. There I watched a girl who was carrying some load (Perhaps ripped crop) on her head. The farm fields in the background, greenery all around, the dark backdrop of a hill and the magical back light of sun altogether created charming scene. I came down of my vehicle and clicked a few frames. This is one of them. I used a Nikon D 90 camera. The lens was Nikon 18-105 mm. Exposure was f-11, 1/100 Sec. The ISO was set at 200.
Girls in the villages of Uttarakhand are involved in the works of agricultural fields. They toil hard for their families throughout the day. The contribution of such girls for the sake of their family’s economy is admirable.

Celebrating 5th Anniversary...........
-Youth Gallery-
Passionate for Creativity
Sudipta Das

Sudipta Das is an amateur photographer from Karandighi, an utmost remote part of West Bengal (India). She finds herself truly fortunate to have spent her childhood in the lap of Mother Nature from where she got her inspiration for working in the field of photography. The passion to frame the beautiful sights of the surrounding took birth during her childhood days. To polish her skill she started participating in the workshops of renowned photo- artists. This provoked her to take part in national and international salons of photography. She has got a number of acceptances in such contests.  Though Sudipta prefers pictorial photography, she loves photographing old haunted houses, the bustles of city life and historical monuments as well. She wants to carry her passion throughout her life. Beside photography, she likes to spend time in painting and music.  Sudipta is M. Sc with the specialisation of Microbiology. She selected this branch as she possesses deep affection for nature. In her small journey of art, she has got the support from her father, Mr. Snehangshu Das and mother, Mrs. Sabita Das who have always been with her with their precious motivation. Besides, Sudipta never forgets the encouragement of her mentors, Mr. Subhasis Dutta (Secretary of FRAME) and Mr. S.P. Mukherji. Her close friends, Sanjib, Somnath, Payel and Baren also work as source of inspiration.
We wish her a bright future..

“Abhivyakti: Expression Through Photography”

Friends,

I feel extremely happy to share that our blog, “Abhivyakti: Expression through Photography”, has completed five successful years of its voyage and is observing its 5th Anniversary. This blog began in 2009 with the pious goal of sharing the knowledge of Art–Photography among the art enthusiasts. We started our journey with various sections, like Learning, Photo Feature, On Project, Great Masters, Story behind the Picture, Profile, Youth Gallery, etc. Later Dashboard and Event sections were also added to the blog in order to expand the sphere of knowledge. Our chief aim has always been to provide platform to the beginners who have never got the opportunity to showcase their talent. Besides, we aim at sharing the works of the Great Masters so that the novice may have opportunity to learn from them.
The readers and followers work as the strength of any blog like ours. A big number of readers from India and abroad (Denmark, Chile-South America, Brazil, Turkey, Slovenia, UK, Germany etc.) have associated with our blog. Their valuable association and impartial ideas/suggestions have helped us improving the quality of the contents. I’m grateful to all the readers and followers. I assure that our blog will always try its best for the benefit of art lovers in the years to come.

Art has an indispensable place in our lives and photography is the youngest medium of fine arts today, but perhaps the most aristocratic and powerful with numerous possibilities to experiment with.  In today’s world, photography has become an indispensable part of daily human life. Today photography is the art which, perhaps, influences our lives most directly. Today photography is much more than a technique; it is an art.
Although world’s first photograph was produced in France by Nicephore Niepce in the year of 1826, but it took few more years until 1839 when photographic process ‘Daguerre Type’ invented by French scientist and artist J. Monde Daguerre, was dedicated to mankind by French Academy of Science and Arts and in the same year photography reached the shores of India, and since then it has become the integral part our country’s cultural, historical and aesthetical happenings.
Blogging is very popular these days; it proves useful in learning, exchanging views and thoughts about various important aspects of education, learning and carrier building possibilities, in any particular field.
A Blog – ‘Abhivyakti: Expression through Photography’ owned by Dr. Pankaj Sharma, is very  valuable when it comes to effective learning of photography, I found it very effectual, innovative and educative. I am delighted to know that it is completing six years, on the 5th Anniversary I hearty congratulate him for his valuable efforts, it is certainly the result of his hard work that his Blog has become so popular in short span of time.
On this occasion and for this happening I take this opportunity to warmly extend my best wishes.

Dear Dr. Sharma,

 It is a great pleasure to learn that your ever popular blog 'Abhivyakti' is completing 5 years. Right from its inception, your blog has done yeoman service for the budding as well as established photographers by attracting youngsters to the beautiful art of photography, bringing to the forefront many unknown photographers with their superb work etc. Your painstaking efforts in running this blog successfully need to be truly appreciated. The present generation of photography enthusiasts is really lucky to have a guide and guru like you. We, the older generation, lacked this good fortune. What took us years to learn will take the present generation hardly a few days to master under your able leadership. Most hearty congrats once again. As a tribute to your blog, I am taking an opportunity to send you a photograph of Bombay (as it was known then). I shot as a school going kid more than 50 years ago on a Rolleicord twin lens reflex camera and processed myself in Agfa Rodinol developer in a daylight loading tank. May be because of care I took while developing the roll of film that the negative is still in excellent condition.
