4 photography tips to beautifully capture the monsoon season
If you are a nature lover or appreciate the colors of the world when they are more dramatic, then the monsoon season is the best time for you to put your nature photography tips to use and go outdoors to experiment with your gear and photography techniques.
Monsoons are a perfect opportunity for you to capture breathtaking pictures of everything—people, monuments, objects, animals, and the scenery, because the world looks more wholesome during the rainy days and all the elements of it get highlighted more.
Here we have collated some easy photography tips and tricks for you to try out this monsoon season and click beautiful pictures:
Try Juxtaposition- If you are willing to look beyond the ordinary and make your pictures stand out, then juxtaposition is a must for you to try. It means putting an additional subject next to another subject to make it contradict the original idea or bringing two subjects together in a frame that you wouldn’t not normally find near one another. By using this, you can make your photograph look exceptional and show people the world from another perspective. This composition rule can be well learned in photography workshops under the guidance of the experts.
Embrace rainbows- Rainbows are a delight to look at, and the best thing about the monsoon season is that you get multiple chances to use them in your pictures to make them look lovely and joyful. You can either take a low-level shot where the rainbow looks like a halo behind your subject, or you can take a wide shot and let the rainbow and the natural surroundings complete the picture in a subtle way. You can also experiment with nature photography tips and capture rainbows in an open field, behind an aesthetic house, or with animals.
Catch the action- If you pay attention, the hustle and bustle of life takes a turn during the monsoon season. There is more noise and more action for photographers to capture. Put nature photography tips to use to click water droppings on the grass or leaves. Protect your camera, go out in the rain and cover the fast car passing by the puddle and throwing water around. You may also see people running to try to get from one place to another in the rain. Click on them to show how life changes its pace during the monsoon season.
Don’t limit yourself- If you are thinking of picking a theme and clicking pictures around it, plan and create a moodboard accordingly. But, you must set yourself free and click scenery, people, animals, and buildings to create a vast collection of moody monsoon pictures. Due to the rain, flora and fauna can be easily found in the scenic spots. Don’t miss out on the change and try out every wildlife photography tip you can find on the internet. Capture the new growing leaves, insects, or animals roaming in the fields or on the roadside and go colorful or monochromatic as you please.
From puddles to skies and from a rain-covered window to creating portraits with umbrellas, there are so many photography tips and tricks that you can use to click beautiful monsoon pictures. Remember to protect yourself, your camera, and equipment from the rain and be careful on your adventure.

5 effective tips for Ganesh Chaturthi photography
Ganesh Chaturthi is an auspicious festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha. Just like any other celebratory day of life, this day also showcases joy, happiness, beautiful decorations, pretty outfits, energy, and positivity that must be preserved in pictures. From trying your hands on macro photography to highlighting every aspect of Ganpati, to experimenting with different lenses to capture the celebration from every perspective, there is so much a photographer can try their hands on.
But, with so much happening and so many elements surrounding the festival, it can get a little overwhelming for first-timers. Here are some of the photography tips and tricks that can help you get to sail through the day if you are a beginner:
1. Pick the right angle and equipment

There are many ways to capture the whole celebration. For example, if you want to click a shot of Ganesha and include people in it to show the wholesomeness of the celebration, use a wide angle lens (50mm or more), or if you want to focus on details of the murti, opt for macro shots. Macro photography helps produce images of small things larger than life. This will help ensure that everything in the frame is visible without any distortion at all. You can also zoom in closer while taking pictures if you aren’t aiming for high resolution pictures. You can understand all the camera angles and equipment by enrolling yourself in the photography classes for beginners. If you are looking for some good cameras, the Lumix G95 and G85 are great.
2. Use the correct lighting

It's important to use natural light and adjust your aperture settings so that you don't overexpose or underexpose the subject of your photo. If you're using a flash with your camera, make sure that it's pointed at what you want lit up but doesn't overpower everything else in the frame. You can learn flash photography tricks through online photography courses in India. Flashlights may seem silly at first glance, but when done correctly (and with good luck), "flash photography" creates beautiful silhouettes of idols during Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.
3. Keep it simple
You need to focus on one or two things at a time and make sure that they are clearly visible in the frame. The importance of simplicity in photoshoots is very much highlighted by experts, and learning to utilise the elements smartly to make a photograph is an art one masters over time. If you struggle with selecting your subject/s and ensuring breathing spaces in your photographs, you can enrol yourself into photography classes for beginners. If you want to add more elements into your shot, then make sure that it doesn't distract from the main subject (Lord Ganesha idol). Don’t hesitate to explore courses and blogs to learn photography online to get ready before you make your way to the final day.
4. Get the focus right

Focus on the surroundings too, so that there are no blank spaces around the Ganesha idol so that you can give your pictures an ethereal feel! If you are using some props like sweets, you must place them around but not too far, so that focus is not distracted. There are plenty of photography classes for beginners where you can learn all these tips and tricks.
5. Experiment with bokeh and filters

You can also experiment with bokeh and you can learn about it and the filters through online photography courses in India as they help beginners with all these tips and techniques. Bokeh is the out-of-focus area around an image, and it adds to the mood and feeling of a photograph. The best way to get more bokeh in your pictures is by using large aperture lenses (f/1.4). A tripod would be helpful too, so that all your photos come out looking professional! If you do not want to invest in a course right now, you can also learn photography online through the plenty of tutorials available on Youtube and other platforms. Learning about macro photography techniques, photography tips and tricks, and getting the right equipment, etc., can help you amp up your photography game this Ganesh Chaturthi.
