Baggy Denim Shirt

This has been a favorite so far... Shot with the very affordable yet effective Canon EF 85mm F/1.8, which I had owned for sometime before selling it off and acquiring the Canon EF 50mm F/1.2 L. The shallow Depth of Field (DOF) was well utilized to bring about that hazy foreground created by the foliage nearer the camera.

Plabita added a lot of flair with that baggy denim shirt, which she had actually fished out of her Dad's  wardrobe (but shhh... that's a secret!)

Good To Be Back!

It has been quite a long hiatus. Having launched the website www.abyjit.com, somehow started ignoring the amazing role that the blog can actually play. Recently, having interacted with some pros and semi-pros, I could see how their blogs make a difference to what they represent. So here I am at it again, hoping to draw attention to what I love doing and share whatever little I know about photography and its nuances through my experiences.

When I had started out with the blog having rediscovered photography with my first DSLR, I had somehow decided never to put up any portraits. I felt it would somehow dent the privacy of people I shoot. But as time passed and I kept on shooting, I ended up realizing that portraits are what my forte is! So, I had a re-think and decided to put up portraits as well. With the inevitable social media boom there are a zillion personal pictures flying around anyways.

For the records, I could add a Canon 50mm f/1.2 and a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS (Mark I) to my kitty, both of which are excellent premium lenses for portraits. This was shot with the 70-200mm.
