Diwali or Dīpāvali (Sanskrit: दीपावली, Hindi: दिवाली, Marathi: दिवाळी, Kannada: ದೀಪಾವಳಿ, Kokani: धाकली दिवाळी, Tamil: தீபாவளி, Telugu: దీపావళి, Urdu: دیوالی) is a significant 5-day festival in Hinduism, Sikhism, and Jainism occurring between the end of September and early November. It is also popularly known as the Festival of Lights. Diwali is an official holiday in India and Nepal.

The word दीपावली literally translates as a row of lamps in Sanskrit. It is traditional for adherents of Diwali-celebrating faiths to light small clay lamps (or Deep in Sanskrit: दीप) filled with oil to signify victory over the the evil within an individual. During Diwali, many wear new clothes and share sweets/snacks with each other. Some Indian business communities start their financial year by opening new account books on the first day of Diwali.

Let’s celebrate the big festival of INDIA... "DIWALI". Capture all the moment of the grate fest. So we should not miss the Diyas (the oil lights). Let’s follow some tips to shoots the blinkers...

Spread out the light: The first rule take the shoot of diyas in night, don’t feel less lighting around the object. If you planning of flash or extra lighting, will be a bad idea. Flash will completely destroy any ambient light you want to capture in the shot.

Spread out the line: If you are thinking to put many diya in a row, wouldn't a good idea. they will create a harsh shadows on your object and picture can looks scary. Try to put all of them in a dramatic way.

Set the ISO high: cause of less light set the ISO high in your camera. To increasing the ISO, produce the grains on your picture. So keep the ISO slightly below the 400. So it will provide you the less grain and more lights.

White Balance: Play with the white balance, it can provide the good results. Keep in mind when you are clicking the diya, the important element is Warmness of Diya, Don’t miss it in you picture. So keep the camera white balance on "Auto". And indoor setting also can give good results.

Get Closer: Be closer of the flame is a dramatic idea to get a wonderful shoot. Keep the point to fill the frame with the flame and some part of diya. Try to get the shoot in such a way the background comes black or darker with the diya and flame focus.

Some good compositions if you are planning to get human around the diya. Getting a picture of women is a grate idea. Get the diya closer of woman face, it'll glow the dress and jewelry. Putting the flower around diya will give the grate shoot.

So all the best and Wish you a very HAPPY DIWALI

Shutter Speed

The shutter speed refers to the amount of time that the shutter of the camera is open and the film is exposed to the light.

The speeds available on a camera depends on the design of the shutter and camera. Normal settings will include speeds of 1 to 1000. A shutter speed of 1 indicates that the shutter will be open for 1 second. A setting of 2 will indicate that the shutter is open for half (1/2) a second. On a setting 60 the shutter will remain open for one sixtieth (1/60) of a second, etc. Each setting on the shutter speed is also known as a STOP. Each STOP will expose the film for exactly half or double the amount of time, depending on the side to which the setting was done.

Handspeed Limit

The hand speed limit is the minimum shutter speed at which a photograph can be taken without supporting the camera on a tripod. At lower shutter speeds camera shaking can influence the sharpness of the photo. A safe rule to follow is to ensure that the shutter speed setting is higher than the focal length of the lens. (As an example, for a focal length of 50mm, the shutter speed setting would be 1/60th of a second and for a focal length of 200mm the shutter speed setting would be 1/250th of a second.)
