Happy New Year 2019 !

This is my 1st Post of 2019 and what better way to start the New Year than by posting a Minimalism as Few Distinctive Colors, Photograph?

I found these colorfully painted walls near Cafe Tea Tradition, Jaipur. I was passing by on my Honda Activa Scooter. I stopped by for a quick couple of shots.

The Gray Arc/ Curve that you see in the foreground is actually a large cement sewer pipe, that I have used intentionally to break the Colorful Pattern Photograph (that I randomly titled "Thoughts in Color" to be honest) 

and since it is mostly out of focus it also does not disturb the frame.

The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:

• Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II
  
  
• Lens: Canon 24-105 mm Prime Lens
  
  
• F-stop: f/14

• ISO speed: ISO-2000
  
  
• Exposure bias: 0 step
  
  
• Focal Length: 105 mm
  
  
• Metering mode: Spot
  
  
• Flash mode: No flash

Hope you enjoyed the Thoughts in Color Minimalist Photograph.

Thank you for your time. Have a Nice Day. !

Two Pink Chairs

Minimalism as Parts of the Whole

I clicked this image of Two Pink Chairs at Nibs Cafe Jaipur. 

One of my friends called me there for a cup of Coffee and some Pasta :)

I don't spare Cafes even. Oh well, you know it by now ;)

I got motivated to click this because, the Pink Color stood out nicely against the Blue Brick Wall. 

Next thing that came to my mind was, How to compose the frame to make it look decently interesting?

So, I decided to go with the Parts of the Whole Minimalism Strategy.

I clicked only a part of both the Pink Chairs and left some gap in between.

I made sure that I included the Blue Pipe on the top to add an extra pop/element (line) to the frame.

The Texture on the wall was good and the chairs were flat. So that contrast also helped.

The EXIF Data for the Photo is as follows:

• Camera Maker: Canon
  
  
• Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II
  
  
• Lens: Canon 100 mm Prime Macro L Series Lens
  
  
• F-stop: f/4
  
  
• Shutter Speed: 1/250 sec.
  
  
• ISO speed: ISO-640
  
  
• Exposure bias: 0 step
  
  
• Focal Length: 100 mm
  
  
• Metering mode: Spot
  
  
• Flash mode: No flash
  
  
• Exposure program: Manual
  
  
• White Balance: Auto

Hope you enjoyed the Two Pink Chairs Minimalist Photograph.

Colored Version of The White Square and The Alphabet Z

Today I was shuffling through old Minimalist Pictures of mine in the computer. I stumbled upon one particular album from where I had edited and posted two Black and White Minimalist Photos on the blog.

The first photo being: White Square and the second being: The Alphabet Z

Last time, when I had edited these photographs, I was not able to edit them in color the way I wanted to, hence I had turned them into black and white. But, today I thought why not give it a re-try. Today, I finally was able to edit them in color and was pretty happy with the results. A lot of people like Black and White Photographs but some only like colored ones. 

With this post, I have made sure that I keep both of them happy :)

Long time ago, I had read a photography tip somewhere online and it said "Never delete a photograph ever, you may like it on a later date." I followed that advice  and it worked wonders.

Another reason why I chose color today could be, that subconsciously I must be preempting a good phase in life, therefore an inclination towards color. Lets see if that happens. 

Meanwhile, I am still recouping from energy that I lost from last month's Lunar Eclipse on September 16-17.

Coming back to the composition, I will not talk much about it as I had already done that in the Black and White versions.

You can read them here: a) White Square b) The Alphabet Z
