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
