Find a Good Vantage Point<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is very important to find a top angle for capturing the essence of the festival<\/strong><\/a>. To shoot every aspect of the merriment, try to take photographs at nearly 45 degrees from a point of elevation. Create a larger frame and use this frame to capture everyone and everything.

Start taking magical shots of the decor and elements of the festivity and take a lot of quality and capture-worthy pictures of people.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increase the Shutter Speed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everybody\u2019s energy is heightened on Holi, so there is a lot of action around you. Owing to this reason, it is important to use a fast shutter as it enables the photographer <\/strong>to arrest the gulaal amidst the quickly altering frame. It is usually advised to place the shutter speed somewhere between 1\/5000 to 1\/1000 to ameliorate the level of Holi photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Use of a Versatile Lens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It becomes impossible to change the lens during any Holi gathering due to the presence of colours in the air. To avoid any damage to the camera, the use of a 24-150 mm lens is recommended for people trying to freeze beautiful moments of the festivities. This lens enables you to shoot excellent group pictures and close-ups without exposing the camera to powder in the air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capture Portraits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are shooting from a DSLR or a smartphone, it is suggested to take photos in portrait mode. To freeze portraits, use a dual-camera setup in smartphones as this technology imitates the depth-of-field effect of a DSLR, owing to which you get the subject in focus with blurred background. This feature is available in smartphones of Apple, Samsung, OnePlus, Redme, and Motorolla. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candid Shots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The essence of any public celebration or community festivities is innocence. Arrest the candidness of the environment by taking multiple shots of a moment. Place your camera\/smartphone with ease and focus on the vibe of the moment and click the candid shot. This part of Holi photography represents the ethos of the festival of colours which is freedom, love, and hope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit Different Locations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To create a diverse Holi album, visit different locations in your city. To add flavour to your portfolio, shoot multiple ways of Holi celebration by various sections of society. Capture the cultural ethos<\/strong> of people from different social strata to diversify your collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gear Protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have been a part of Holi events you are aware of the chaos and dust in the air. Taking a camera\/smartphone amidst a carefree crowd with powder in the air is a risky affair. So before going on a Holi photography spree, gather a plastic cover and wrap your gear using a sellotape. This will prevent the dust to enter your lens and spoil it. Be prepared to dance to the spirit of collectiveness in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
