Photo award from PSM

It was one of the greatest weekends for me.

PSM had conducted a competition among its members on the following topics: Street, Festival, Nature and Sky. It was mentioned that 50 best photos will be displayed and three out of them will be given a prize. Being a member of PSM, I decided to participate and started taking pictures. During the past 2-3 weekends, I took many photos to cover these topics.

Finally I compied 4 photos covering all the topics and handed over them to PSM. When I visited the display Gallary on 23rd of January, to my pleasant surprise, three of my photographs were displayed . My immediate reaction was pure ecstacy.

The feather in the cap came on Monday – 25th Jan. I got a mail from PSM mentioning that one of my picture has won the JUDGE’S SPECIAL MENTION AWARD. It was truly a great moment in my life. I never expected this so soon, but still I take this with a bow to my godly Mother.

Surprisingly the picture selected was my least favorite among the three displayed. It was an eye openiner for me. “What you think as best may not go same way with others”. This is espcially applicable for Photography.

A+

"FINDING THE WAY"

About the Photo:-

It was taken in the early morning hours on Triplicane street. I used Radial Blur technique. I started with 30mm Focal and finished at 55mm in 1/15th of second. Since it was a little dark I used ISO 1600 and f/5.6.
