Result Of Feb Photography Competition!!

The theme for the photography competition for the months of February was "Love" and as always, the club members came up with some great snaps on the topic.

The competition as judged by ace photographer, Mr. Prasad Pankar

Here are the results:

1st Place: Achintya Kambli -Love

Description: In the hustle and bustle of the marriage hall, and the responsibilities which come along by being a relative of the to-be-wed, the mother still has time for her children.....
Mother's Love never falters, never fails.....she always will put the needs and desires of her children ahead of hers.....

Camera Details: taken from 2.0 MP camera of my cellphone 7210 supernova.....a bit of editing to make it look better....

Camera settings: Please ignore them for my camera...almost none.....

Judge's comment: The rarity of the moment wins this the prize. The child sleeping in the woman's lap, while the other child holds on to her mother, while maintaining beautiful eye contact. Technically could have been better, but the beauty of the moment makes it a winning snap.

2nd Place: Sagar Kamat -Homecoming

Description: Day after day, Night after night, they keep coming back to their little ones, bringing in food and care and so much more. And all this to just see them fly away someday, in pursuit of their own worldly dreams. Can anything else but 'love' explain this homecoming?

Photo Details: Nikon s550 ISO; 83(auto) Shutter speed:1/126(auto) Aperture; s/5.6

Judge's Comment: It's really easy to imagine a scene like this and draw it, but to actually be able to capture a scene as rare as this is very difficult.

3rd Place: Rohan Kelkar -Atoot Rishta Hai Ye... Atoot Jod hai ye

Description: Picture quality not so good. Taken with a low end phone camera.

Judges Comment: Another lovely pic, with a lovely caption that has been well thought out. Technically, a poor shot, but the candidness of the photograph wins it the prize.

Mr. Pankar also suggested that members work harder towards getting candid shots, rather than staged shots.


Congratulations to the all the winners!!
