“The camera is a great medium to get close to Mother Nature”

- Uttam Kalita.

In this competitive age we are so busy with ourselves that we often fail to enjoy the beautiful creation of nature. Photography helps to draw our attention towards this fascinating creation and find solace from our hectic schedule. It adds another dimension to the entire beautiful thing around us by capturing nature’s gift in all its purity for us.

Whenever we see a beautiful a painting we praise the painter for creating such an amazing masterpiece. Similarly in case of Photography photographs are the masterpieces and photographers are the ones who bring Excellency in them. 

As for me, Photography started as my hobby and slowly turned into my passion and my profession. I was so involved in my hobby that I myself didn’t know how and when it became my passion. It gives me immense pleasure, ultimate joy, complete satisfaction in capturing some beautiful moments .It is in just inexplicable. Whenever I go I never feel bored as my best friend “my camera” is always there with me to capture the precious moments of time. 

As far as my Subject of photography is concerned, I am interested in nature and wildlife photography, I even shot theme base photographs, and Butterflies are one of my favorite models (object). I always appreciate their poses and their attitude which gives new dimensions in nurturing the creativity in me. They never fail to make my pixels the most popular and adorable one. Black and white photographs are my favorite. It expresses what I see and feel more effectively than color ones. I love to create street photographs too which speaks out various facets of life. I find myself framing everything around me and taking a picture of it in my mind. 

During my childhood, I love to stand in front of camera, but the scenario changed when I reached my college life. I took up camera in my hand and unexpectedly got positive responses from every one. Since then I have been involved in Photography and very satisfied in this carrier option.

I would like to compare my feelings of owning my first camera to that of a child getting his favorite toy demanded by him, it was simply immeasurable. In fact it was the most memorable day as it was on my 20th birth day. I am doubly satisfied as it was the result of my tireless effort to possess my precious friend. In fact, I tried very hard and worked till late night to afford it. 

   My current camera is Fujifilm S3300 which is good enough for me right now. I would love to upgrade to the Cannon 7D but being a student it is quite not possible for me to buy it right now however I definitely see myself capturing my objects with this in the near future. My ideal would be a DSLR which would give me a lot of freedom and control of the settings.

My first achievement was when I received “Photographer of the month” at enajori.com which boosted my determination and encouraged me to relentlessly try to create something new. After this success I got myself immensely involved in this profession and the output is really good, after that I received Grand winner in the 7sisters.in Photography Competition. 

 

I learnt a lot from my senior and fellow photographers, who guided me towards the intricacies of photography. My family members, my friends and my well wishers support is something I can never forget and is the driving force. I am very thankful to all of them. 

Lastly but not the least I would like to show my gratitude to 7 sisters.in for giving me an opportunity to share my views .Moreover there are lots of talented young photographers in Assam. They just need a good platform to showcase their talent and to fly high with colors taking this profession as their carrier option. 

  My endeavor is always in making my photographs speak and feel rewarded when someone identifies the same feeling with which I have captured those moments and I commit to try my utmost to offer some memorable works in my field.

The social medium and the revelation of the revolution.

- Abhilash Sharma.

The use of the internet, mainly the site for social fraternity and friendship has increased than anything else on the web. The new sites which give users the option of sharing and spreading their posts, videos etc. has flourished. But to what extent can the social medium be considered as effective?

To a very high level if you know how much the simple act of sharing your views has brought better and needed changes in the world !!

The use of the social medium is not merely to chat, share thoughts or make friends. It has grown in such a huge number that it can pose as a way to shake the mightiest institution, which has been seen in some parts, in Middle East part of the continent, where political leaders were changed on the power of the media.

Uses of the internet have been to many level, but the way it has been in the online way is more than any more used. When  a young teenager joins a social site, the person has his motive on to make more friends. It was this a few years before people changed the way they thought of social sites. They started to use these to put their views and they made it more than just teen based sites, the online world was becoming more than simple socializing. It was the better but not thought of usage of the web. Those who had no interest in world affairs began to be aware of the political situation in their country, the ideas which were earlier only to those who could spread them began to be among the entire mass of the country, simple it is but they got one means of being with their countrymen. While the leaders could not gather idea about the power that the tech generation has achieved and they were in a path they knew least. For a change the young minds had an edge of information over older leaders. A country had changed their leaders by the use of the web social community, and made many leaders to think about the usage of these sites and if they can be monitored for anything which was anti national. These have also made it very important to know the working of the social communities on the world web, if the politicians have to get the ideas of the masses and the issues which are running on the community. The use of these can be also unwise if the same is used to spread malice filled rumor which can affect the society and it’s working. Thus it is needed to check the materials which are circulated on the site for the sake of maintaining the user faith in the web. The most known usage of these are to show the way general mass wants to change in the nation as regarded to issues which they want to be solved and to get control on matters which they think should not be dealt wrongly! The importance the government has shown to certain pending cases has been due to the affect of the online groups. Some issues got solved by the intervention of those communities which spread their ideas on the web, and they made better usage of the connectivity they have. The   government has to even ban and control pages on the internet when they are doing more than they might to affect the young part of the nation. A more informed young country does sound good if it has the ideals in, and knows the bounds it follow...
