Annular solar eclipse occurred on 21st June 2020.An Annular Solar Eclipse occurred when Moon diameter smaller then sun.It blocking most of sun light and looks like annular like a ring. Well on earth different places eclipse was seen . This Solar Eclipse was seen in most of Asian countries but the percentage of visible of eclipse are different. I am in India Gujarat so i can see 78% of eclipse visibility. Above image is Multiexposure photo of Annular Solar Eclipse at 4 minute of interval. Next Annular Solar Eclips is on 14 oct 2023 .

A ring was visible at northern India, Southern china and Saudi Arabia. Well in India monsoon is coming and i think that we was not able to see the biggest Solar eclipse of this 20th sanctuary. Yes this eclipse was the most visibility about 78% of this century. So it was very important to be a part of it and take a photos of it. I use Eclipse 2.0 mobile application for follow eclipses. This application shows you all solar ,Lunar eclipses dates and timings and also it shows Transits too. So it is good application for astro event lovers.

I never miss a chance to shoot it. Its a Sunday (holiday ) so i am ready from 9 am at my rooftop. Well I was thinking if rain was not fall on that day so me and my friend go outside with good background and take a shot of Solar Eclipse. But when v see timing and direction of sun we decided to shoot at home because at the peak of eclipse sun was on our head so no need good background and foreground just shoot sun. It was very difficult to shoot with camera without proper gear like ND Filter or u need X-ray film at time of shoot eclipse. I use ND Filter for time-laps and also i done multi-exposure shoot of solar eclipse at interval of 4 minutes. Unfortunately on multi-exposure I accidentally touch my tripod and the line was broken of my Eclipse. but still its good image to see. Also I shoot with canon 100-400 mm lens with X-Ray film on my lens with the help of my son. That was amazing experience to shoot solar eclipse. I shoot Lunar Eclipse previously and also Venus Transit  before. But at that time i have not proper gear and camera and lenses too.    

Taken by canon 6d with 100-400 mm lens with X-Ray film. You must have to use some special glasses or x-ray film to see Solar eclipse because It can damage your eye if you see directly.

Camera gear used :: Canon 6D,Canon80D,Canon50mm,Canon 18-55mm,Canon 100-400mm,ND filter both 50mm and 18-55mm lens.

Abstract in photography is a good subject to shoot. What abstract means - The definition of abstract photography  :: Abstract in photography means the subject existing in thought or in as an idea but it does not exist in physical form. Means Abstract Photography is an idea that you create from the subject. During lock down period i have lots of spare time to shoot every kind of theme photography at my home. Creative abstract photography ideas you can get from your home. Abstract photography in black and white looks beautiful in any subject. I use macro lens for this so i can call it Abstract Macro Photography.

Now a days you have to be creative in photography. Everyday a new challenge to face. New subjects and new theme. I found lot of thing at my home that we can shoot for theme photography or abstract in photography. When my son had no school and he put his pencil box inside a drawer i guess an idea for pencil abstract photography. Then i take a rubber band and gather all pencil and bunch it all. and look what i get . A beautiful image and creature and a good sample of design made by pencil bunch. Then i shoot it process it in Black And White Abstract photo and color too. I take color pencil too for colorful abstract images.

For motion blur just stady your subject use external lights and go for high aperture and low shutter speed. While you click your shutter like about 1 second to 5 second move your camera in any direction until your shutter close. See the result. You can work this trik to any subject like trees too.

Landscape Photography is one of my favorite subject. Corbett National Park is one of the most visited National Park in India. Its a Biggest Tiger Reserve in India and also large number of Tigers are here. Framing a landscape photo need good background and foreground. Well in corbett National Park Dhikala is the place where you can stay at night and also near to river side so you can visit Asiatic Elephant Family at Dhikala area. 

Dhikala is situated at core location of Corbett National park. It is located about 30 km from Dhangadi Gate of Corbett National Park. Actually Dhikala is forest rest house where tourist can stay. Dhikala Forest Lodge is best place to stay in Corbett national Park. There are 6 different winges with different numbers of rooms in Dhikala. Dhikala is most popular to stay for wildlife photographers because in this area you can visit good river side sunset or sunrise and also a large number of Asiatic Elephants with Family. 

Morning Golden Light :

While shooting landscape photography light is very important . When i was on my safari at Dhikala zone i saw morning golden light and a burned tree trunks standing on ground. Well i just capture is with good golden light. If you want good colors of sunlight then use white balance on shades in your DSLR camera. It boost your frame colors. And after then post processing with good color corrections. I also shoot it in Black and White landscapes at Corbett national Park. 

Corbett national park is too big in area that Tiger siting possibility is too low. But there are another beautiful subjects to shoot their like elephants, crocodiles, birds etc. Also dont forget the Dikhala site where you can take landscape photos of amazing corbett. During sunset time here you can get elephant family and also magic of golden light.

Alone tree with golden light looks beautiful in frame. 

A birds on top left branch of the tree .make my frame outstanding black and white photo with bird.
