Tips To Click Best Holi Photos
One of the vibrant festivals of India, Holi, otherwise known as the festival of colours
is around the corner. It’s the time when photographers get plenty of
chance to capture colourful portraits. Here are some tips to click the best Holi photos that can make your celebrations even more colourful.
Be with the crowd
To capture the best photo of Holi,
you should always be one among the crowd. Kindle the spirit of the
festivity in the crowd and find emotions flooding from everywhere. No
other photo can be as true and effective as people’s smiles,
wonderstruck faces etc.
Get close up shots
Close up shots of colourful faces
make extravagant photos. The vibrant pink, yellow, green and much more
will exhibit happiness at its best. Who would not like a bit of
detailing?
Make the best use of shade
On Holi-day, sun can be very intimidating and prevent you from getting good photos of Holi.
Hence we suggest you to be friends with shade of trees, buildings etc
which will help you capture photos with less highlights and shadows.
Capture people in groups
Photos of people
splashing colours on others, dancing and sharing fun and laughter would
bring in the essence of Holi completely. Hence, spend as much time as
possible with the groups.
Photograph gulal in different ways
A shot of gulal in shops or in
someone’s hand or even in the air would express the feeling of Holi in a
different level. Let your camera do magic with colours on this
wonderful day.
Travel to get variety
Holi is celebrated
in different ways in various parts of India as rituals in each region
vary. It will be worthy if you could capture those distinct modes of
celebrations and share them with the world. What you need to do is just
pack your bag and hit the road.
Get aerial shots
Photos of celebrations taken from above are always great. Be in a balcony or stand on a chair to get the best aerial shots of Holi celebrations. Thus make your Holi photos one-of-a-kind.
Stick onto the comfortable mode to shoot
Don’t try to meddle with manual
settings in your camera if you are not a pro at it. Always take test
shots before you start photographing the event. Make sure you have your
aperture, metering, focal point etc perfectly set. Then remain cool and
click rapidly because you could miss the subtle smiles around.
