A Minimalist Photograph of Jasmine Flowers and their Reflection on a Glass Table.

When I go to Jawahar Kala Kendra, I usually sit at Indian Coffee House. The place that I mostly sit there is the one that is the unofficial Smoking Zone. Not that I smoke, but the thing is that, there you have nice Jasmine Plants and Nature around you.

Sometimes, these Flowers Fall from the Roof covered with the Jasmine Flower Plant, onto the Glass Coffee Table creating these reflections.

Most of the time while having coffee, I try to click a few pictures. This time though, I got one worthy of  a blog-post.

The Reflection of the Jasmine Flowers on the Glass Table was my primary intent and I think I got it executed nicely.

As you can see, I spotted some amount of  Negative Space between those two Flowers and I kept some more of it under their reflection, keeping the Minimalist Essence of the Photograph alive. 

The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:

• Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II
  
  
• Lens: Canon 100 mm Prime Lens

Thank you for your time. Have a Nice Day !

7 Macro Minimalist Photos featuring Water Droplets

As promised earlier, I am here with my Minimalism and Nature Series. I have decided to include 7 Photographs. Seven are not too many nor too little, rather just about right. I had also mentioned, that I shall be upgrading my Camera Kit which was long overdue. 

So Finally, yesterday I got my New Canon 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens

Today, being India's 67th Republic Day, was a half day working for me. I came home very early and had some time to spare. Soon, it started to rain heavily and Therefore I thought why not Mix Minimalist Photography and Nature as a theme with Macro Minimalist Photography.

"I have a thing for Water Droplets" to be frank. So I chose that as my very first Macro Subject. Some people like shooting insects/bugs etc with Macro Lenses but that's not my cup of earl grey tea.

PS: All 7 Macro Minimalist Water Droplets Photos below fall under the Minimalism as Less Elements category of Minimalist Photography. 

All Photographs have been captured using the Canon 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens

I shot for about 2 hours. A lot of time was spent looking for these tiny water droplets and even more on adjusting the Focus. Most shots were taken on Manual Focus. Although Canon 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens comes with Hybrid Image Stabilization but that does not give you accurate results always. If you use a tripod then you will sail through the focus problem easily.

As for me, I am just a lazy bum. I shoot handheld. Infact, a friend called me during my shoot and I was even clicking Macro by gripping the Camera with just one hand. Of course, that did NOT help. 

Anyways I hope you like the above Minimalist Photographs. These are just my first few Macro Minimalist Shots and I hope to publish better one in the coming days.

See you Soon !
