When the shutters closed
Exhibition of photos taken by students concludes today
What they observed: Students looking at exhibits on display
at The American College in Madurai.
MADURAI: Colour composition, colour contrast, lighting, moods
of a subject, framing a picture, depth of field, focus and depth.
For all those wondering what these cryptic talk of photographers
mean, here is a chance to figure out what lays behind all these
jargon.
Organised by the first batch of Visual Communication students
of The American College, “Shutter Fever,”
a two-day photo exhibition that began on Monday attempts to
demystify these jargon.
Says the Department Coordinator, R. Prabahar, “The students
have been asked to explore. They have taken pictures across
all categories such as macro, wildlife, landscape, portrait
and nature.”
In fact, he says, one of the pictures on display — a snap
of the hills at Nagamalai Pudukottai — won the first prize
under the nature category at a competition in a Coimbatore college.
Students have also been advised to look at various other elements
of photography such as angles.
Training in these aspects, Mr. Prabahar says, will help the
students when they graduate to cinematography and photography
the next academic year.
Students used digital and digital SLR cameras for the purpose.
The snaps taken range from an action shot of a cat whose eyes
literally pop out of the snap to nature snaps.
Around 110 pictures taken by 29 undergraduate students are on
display. Open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., the expo is open to the
public. It concludes on Tuesday.
