Love everything about it... the unconventional crop, the shallow dof, the B/W conversion... in the end, the dry chapped cheeks and the misty eyes leave you intrigued...

Great capture!

[Xavier]

Thanks Vicky! :)
That was my first shot at 'evening light' photography.
Was shot at ISO 800 to give it that old school look :)

Btw, nice shots Ana, Sandeep, Ketan and Emile!

These pictures are right out of the camera ... She is a very jolly kid and would not stand/sit still even for a moment...

@nelson, Above shots must have required a lot of patience! I especially liked the 3rd one, she looks so immersed in thought!

@nelson, Above shots must have required a lot of patience! I especially liked the 3rd one, she looks so immersed in thought!

Yes it does .Photographying small kids need a lot of patience but has its cute results . I could only manage some 7-8 decent results from a set of around 50- so you can imagine...

[shutterbug]

nelson,Imho 7-8 out of 50 is a pretty good success rate!

3 is a good shot. 4 is a good crop. 6 is very good as well. But as I have said somewhere, 1 remains my favourite.

The Second shot is nice but I think that it is a bit OOF!

The Second shot is nice but I think that it is a bit OOF!Actually she moved. I cranked up the ISO and set at f/4. But it didn't help. Lights were fading fast.

Thanks for liking these efforts of mine. Actually the things happened so quick that time that i could get these photos only right. It was in the late evening and slow shutter speed - limited ISO of my Camera and Burst speed - u know what happens. :(

It is because of the overstretching thing :(
Anyway, here's a larger version of the same shot.

Great shot, Xavier. i'd have cropped the sides to make it squarer, though. The tiny bit of foliage isn't big enough to be a compositional element and is distracting from the subjects, IMO.

Thanks for the comments, Synn.
I'll try implementing a square crop sans the foliage too. :)

Xavier, Excellent shot and good treatment! Why is he so moody?

Hillpanther, great expression of joy on the kids face, captured well. But the flash is spoiling things slightly by casting those shadows and glares.

thanx!! i admit whay you said but it was very dark there and as you know kids don't wait for us.i like the moment and clicked:)

Hillpanther, No doubt,what you did was the best and only way to do it. What I meant was some kind of PP could really enhance the beauty of the pic by reducing the shadows and glares.

[Xavier]

Xavier, Excellent shot and good treatment! Why is he so moody?


Thanks Titus :)
Well, he's a very active child. This was one of those 'silent' moments and was shot at 300mm, hence he didn't even know that he was being clicked.

[shutterbug]

Yes, I did see the exif, that it was shot at 300mm. You are getting very good results with the 70-300 sigma. I wish I could too!

the near perfect is because that wooden area to her left is almost washed out.she was sitting there morning 7:30am helping her father out setting up shop.her father went somewhere so she sat idle for 5mins.that's when this was taken.i agree on the part of nothings happening..cause theres nothing "striking" about it.its special for me since the look was only once.just when u get up and have to run hurriedly to do something..she was that half waken up.

Yes, I hardly click children, or maybe lets say, I never tried. The first one was taken on request and the second one just to keep that guy happy :p

One from my end:

Innocence plays in the backyard of ignorance - a very small kid Manoj (with his brother Pankaj in the background looking curiously at the lens), who works as a (child) labor in one of the umpteen construction sites in Delhi!

Thanks a lot. :) Actually, I feel a photograph without a title is quite incomplete. Hence, the title. :)

Superb shot, great framing lovely processing in B/W... what can I say!

Can you get us some more shots of child labour happening at the construction sites in Delhi please? If you have a problem, call me, I will accompany you.

[Aryan]

@Ken Da: Thanks. Another shot from my end:

The only thing I was trying to portray was serenity. Also, innocence and vulnerability - Suraj, a young kid who gathers garbage the whole day, looks at the lens acutely.

There are umpteen kids like him, who work hard all day long on the streets of Delhi, just to earn about 70 rupees a day!

Shot this last week. These kids had an amazing attitude towards life. They sell empty coke cans to help themselves to study!!

PS: I don't quite like the glare on their face. Can somebody help in removing it please...

well that was an experiment just to attract the attention towards the logo(tho i knew that i am not good at titles!). posted captions over all pics for sometime but now little selective about that. i have some caption printed pics left to post...after that there would be some clean stuff :)

+++ honored to get the award :):):)

If all the 3 are to the same parent then it quantifies the production line...Just look at the age diff.

Def. this pic. sends message.

Thank you sir!. I believe they belonged to the same parent.

I guess there should be a difference of 9 months at a minimum.

Like both the photos but for the first photo I would have preferred the left child's eyes to be in focus.

Nice framing. Very grainy! Is that deliberate?

[roschmann27]

yes i wanted the grainy look,because i think it gives a vintage look...

More like the story of the kids... more on the lines of child education... that builds interest and embellishes and complements your shot!

too slow, not well framed - but has potential - shooting kids is such a challenging task - great attempt nonetheless.

Rosch -

Why do you think it is not well framed? You want a tighter crop?

A notorious Kid..


Good mood. The BG is distracting. But good mood capture!

Sorry, but I think the camera metered for the bright background leaving the main subject underexposed by more than 2 stops! Either partial metering on the kids face or a little bit of fill flash would have really helped this shot!

[Bibudesh]

http://www.thephotographer.in/galleries/data/570/CSC0101_small.JPG

This is very nice indeed !

[hitanshu]

Vicky,

Interesting. I underexposed by a full stop in post, as well as pulled down brightness, added blacks because I found the kid's face a bit over exposed on my laptop. But I agree - his face is fairer than this image would depict!

or is it my screen - I am fed up of how my images look on the LCD!

[ananth]

Together, Always!

No. Not unnoticed. First one is well framed. But I do not like Sepia treatment. Never liked it. Even when the B/W shots turned old!
