2 CommentsDHOBI GHAT
Posted in: Photo Madari
Article by: Kedar Desai (Fine Art Student - Shari Academy)
On a pleasant Sunday morning, I sacrificed my game of tennis and accompanied my Fine Art Photography Class to a very quaint location in Mumbai, “the Dhobi Ghat” near Mahalakshmi Station. Built by the British around 150 years ago, this is the place where traditional Dhobis (laundry men) wash our dirty linen in the open.
We assembled outside Mahalakshmi station at 6.30 am. The first rays of the morning sun were beginning to make their way through the polluted Mumbai air. The time was right for us to pull out our clunky DSLRs and start clicking.

1 CommentDid you know: The difference between a close Mode and Macro lens ?

The Automatic close up mode means trying to capture a subject from a close distance. Some such subjects can include flowers, bugs or butterflies and any other miscellaneous small objects. It is highly recommended to use a tripod while using the close up mode to reduce shakes and blurs.
Macro Photography means that the size of the subject on the negative is greater than life size. A Macro lens allows you to magnify a small subject in a certain ratio like 1:1 or 1:4. This means that a Macro lens magnifies the subject size on the film plane (image sensor plane) to the actual subject size.For macro photography, one needs to invest in the specific macro lenses as it cannot achieve the same result with the close-up mode on the mode dial.
