A Few Become Many: Photo walk on Mahabalipuram’s Shore Temple.
by Ambitions 4 Photography Academy Best photography institutes in indiaA SUV from Chennai to Mahabalipuram used to pack at best two
people from Ambitions4 Photography Academy on its way for an
early morning Photo walk in Mahabalipuram. The story this time was different.
There were 9 seats in the car including the one behind the steering wheel and
there were 14 applicants for it.
After filtering out the crowd, we set out with 7 enthusiastic
students and 2 staffs on what seemed to be an overcast morning. Rain teased us
again but stayed out during the best parts of the day.
A 50km drive on OMR/ECR on Sunday mornings with other motorheads
is an event by itself but with Horse blinkers on we were headed straight to
Mahabalipuram where our beloved photo walkers were gathering looking forward to
an exciting three hours.
Fun Fact on the way: Fastags aren’t implemented on the State
Highways yet.
Food takes precedence to
all the above. A dosa & coffee stop was made, and we headed towards the
gates of shore temple with happy stomachs.
With the rising sun behind the shore temple, we
started out with some beautiful backlit and silhouette of the shore temple.
The one thing we noticed at
first glance was that, It was CLEAN. Owing to two things, The Modi Visit and
the Lite showers the day before.
This time around there
were a lot of ppl doing touristy things around the shore temple. A lot of
foreigners were spotted too, owing to the holiday season.
We practiced composition
concepts and then moved around the temple to find a puddle of water which was
strategically reflecting the shore temple’s Gopuram.
There we learnt how to
break the rule of thirds and include reflections in a photo.
We then moved around to
shoot images with perspectives, patterns and used lines and curves efficiently
to add depth in an image.
Through out the session we
had our mentor KL Raja Ponsing, clarifying doubts and teaching the walkers to take
beautiful images of the location.
We also bent our backs to get interesting frame in frame images
with grass, trees, leaves etc. too.We regrouped
for one more time to review our images. After some customary selfies we
journeyed back to Chennai.
