Excerpts from Book that I read

“Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.” ― Marc Riboud

Sitta minor. Male with the gular pouch extended (from ‘Gunther’s Reptiles of India’) {In my native place we had this species, with red pouch under its neck, which was turning red. It remained immobile when someone approaches it. And the boys used to say, it is absorbing blood from our eyes, and we used to pelt stones at it. Fortunately we were bad at aiming!!}

Perspective: the art of drawing solid objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point. Depth of Field: Depth of field is the area of acceptable sharpness in front of and behind the subject which the lens is focused. Put simply, it refers to how blurry or sharp the area is around your subject. A shallow depth of field refers to a small area in focus. Often the subject is in focus, while the background is blurred.
