Twisted Indifference

There is not much to say in this case since it was a very basic shoot and in case of the opening snap, please refer to an earlier post about editing in RAW. In my original concept the orange glow of the setting sun would have alluded to the flame roasting of the kebabs but on perusal of the image in Lightroom I decided against it.

Wide angles work in this scenario too. There could not have been a more daunting contrast than black and white in the dying light. Though the source of light was a setting sun, it shone directly on to the table which obviously restricted the same amount of light hitting the chairs. Decide what you want emphasized and meter accordingly. The specular highlights on account of the cutlery also added to the metering mayhem.

There is only one other image that I have not used in this post and can be found on my Flickr Stream for those curious enough. For the remaining wishing for a bit of glamour and live subjects preferably of the female persuasion, I will be putting up a few shots from Femina Miss India 2008 in the next post.

Countless taunts, reminders and requests have made it impossible for me to procrastinate any further. So here we go. Below you will find links to my work that has been published on websites and a certain narcissistic moment of mine.

First of all, I was there shooting at the Femina Miss India 2008. So the lighting was bad and I had to shoot at 1600 ISO. So the contest was exceedingly boring and reeked of being fixed. Hey I was at Miss India!

The photographs have been published at Indiwo.

I had the honour of doing a guest post over at a blog that has redefined movie reviews. Unbiased (last I checked), to the point and most importantly not written by the egregious hacks that most newspapers seem to hire at times. My apologies to my friends who do work with newspapers. Of course I didn’t mean you.

So without further delay and of course without giving the movie away…

Saved the best for the last. My moment in the sun.

The story is a little old since I had given the interview a long time back but when you are featured on a website that is a Web 18 venture, the details could be prehistoric for all I care. Skip the part mentioning the automotive magazines. I long moved beyond them. A special thanks to my friend and co-conspirator and the person responsible for the momentary spotlight on me and my work, Suraj Anand.

I also shot at a restaurant. So now there are images from the Miss India shoot and the shoot from the restaurant that include both interiors and food. I might put the restaurant snaps up today. To hell with the bad chronology. Plus the snaps are already edited. I am shamelessly lazy when it comes to editing. So yes, expect another post by the end of the day.
