 "What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that's gone forever, impossible to reproduce." - Karl Lagerfeld. 

   Photography is the art of capturing light with a camera, usually via a digital sensor or film, to create an image. The word Photograph is made of two Greek words; Photo means light and Graph means drawing. With the right camera equipment, you can even photograph wavelengths of light invisible to the human eye, including UV, infrared and radio. The device that is used to take photos is called a camera. Photographs are the visual records created by the impression of light on a variety of light-sensitive surfaces. It is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication. A person who makes photographs is called a Photographer.

   Typically, a lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure. With an electronic image sensor, this produces an electrical charge at each pixel, which is electronically processed and stored in a digital image file for subsequent display or processing. The result with photographic emulsion is an invisible latent image, which is later chemically "developed" into a visible image, either negative or positive, depending on the purpose of the photographic material and the method of processing. A negative image on film is traditionally used to photographically create a positive image on a paper base, known as a print, either by using an enlarger or by contact printing.

   There are different types of Photography. Such as, Portrait Photography, Nature Photography, Sports Photography, Architecture Photography, Digital Photography, Astrophotography, Fashion Photography, Fine-art Photography, Documentary Photography, Pet Photography, Wedding Photography, Street Photography, Macro Photography, Candid Photography, Food Photography, Composite Photography, Commercial photography, Black and White Photography and many more. Different types of these photography has different styles and those different image, photography shows different story. 

   Every people who's a photographer has their own story of their photography journey. No matter how it was started. It's their passion, it's their hobby to capture every single moments of this world inside their camera. That's how they collect their images as their memory. Just like that my photography journey started. When I was in class 10, I used to watch people with cameras, clicking photos. I've a cousin and he's a photographer as well. At that time I got inspired and make that decision that "If they can do that, why not me?" I started clicking photos around me, no matter what it was. I used Mobile Phone first for my photography and after some years I started clicking pictures using Camera using different type of lenses. When I admitted to College, I joined some of the Photography Clubs in different platforms. They invited me for click some images for them also I submitted some of my photographs in groups or pages. surprisingly people selected those images. But at a time I took rest from those groups because they didn't praise those images perfectly or appreciated it well. Then I thought I am gonna start Street Photography because it's one of my hobby which I called "Observing People". It's like I am observing peoples everyday life, their situations, their smiles. I love to seeing people happy and those pictures when I clicked and saw them gives me peace. 

 

That's why once Yogi Berra says "You can observe a lot by just watching."

 

   Other thing I used to do is I take photographs of Animals. Especially it's domestic because till now I haven't get the chance of clicking Wildlife. But I wish I could complete my this dream as well. When you try to click a perfect image suppose it's nature. You're clicking a image of a specific tree or leaf. You've to keep eyes on daylight, shadow. You click the photo finally and now you're looking at it in order if it's look perfect from your perspective. You're thinking that this image needs edit. Now you sit down and start editing it. You're sharply editing it. Purely editing Contrast, Brightness, Saturation, Ambiance, Highlights, Shadows, Warmth. You edited it and now it looks perfect from your perspective. That's how a Photographer takes too much time in order to edit their photos perfectly. Just like that it takes much longer time for anything they click, in order to edit them and make sure that looks perfect. 

From some of my Photography let me show few of them,

It's a picture of a ill horse. I was walking through a road and suddenly I caught him standing still. He was hurt. One of his leg was disabled for walk. I clicked his photo if I could help him by spreading his image through social media. So, how did I captured the photo? Firstly, I take my position perfectly in order to find a perfect background. Then I set my camera where the natural light fall perfectly. After that, I made my frame straight. Then I clicked his photo. I edited this and it was looking so great. Just like that other type of animals photography could clicked by setting down every details in order to take a perfect picture. We can click Birds, Cats, Dogs or other type of domestic animals. Even staying at our own house. Also we can take pictures by taking glowing pictures during golden hour. By using window light to take moody photos of your pet. By putting the focus on your subject using aperture. By using zoom lens to capture unique moments. for clicking wildlife, use shutter speed to take incredible candid of animals.

   There are some of the world's best photographers who inspired me so hard for my passion. Steve McCurry is one of them. He is an American photographer. His photo "Afghan Girl", of a girl with piercing green eyes, has appeared on the cover of National Geographic several times. McCurry has photographed many assignments for National Geographic has been a member of Magnum Photo since 1986. McCurry's photograph exhibit the rich diversity of the human race across the globe. His photography skills was so good that inspired me and motivated me for clicking photos. He bring out my inner photography will for make it possible and real. Moreover, McCurry also travelled through the world and did his duty as a photographer. It's like a dream come true for the people like us. 

   Making someone idol and bring the identity and passionate things inside us could make us feel more motivate. That's how everyone should make a idol for their life, for their passion and one-day you'll be successful. Because when someone try so hard there's no option of falling down. There are some of the greatest photograph staying in this world. Some of them are "Tears of The Glacier" "Golden Ratio" "Picture of Hope" "Nature's Dance" "Restlessness Icon" "Starry Night" and so on. These pictures are like world class photography clicked by world class photographers. These pictures showed the passion and hobby of those photographers. 

    

    Finally, from my perspective those who is willing to become a photographer word hard in order to click some greatest shots and show them to the world. It's not to be sad if no one appreciate your hard work. You know you're trying and that's the thing. No one ever failed if they tried so hard and passionately do hard work in order to fulfill their dreams. Life don't stay still, it goes with the flow and it takes away with you. Even though it's for good or bad. So, from my experience I think photography is one of the best part time activities so far I witnessed and I think if I tried hard I wish I could do something great for myself through this Prominence Photography.
