“Let us see who takes a better picture. You take my picture and I will take yours.” Ajay asked smilingly.
Ajay did not really give me a choice and started clicking and I reciprocated.
Comparing picture on the tiny three inch screen of his Nikon and my Canon digital SLR, Ajay declared, “I take better pictures.”
“Why do you say that?” I asked
“Look at the quality of pictures.”
“May be it is the camera. Let us use the same camera,” I proposed.
We took each other’s shot using the same camera.
Analyzing carefully Ajay declared, “Dude, I am a better photographer.”
Knowing Ajay photography virtuosity, I had no reason to question him. Trying to learn from him, I proposed a clever plan, “Why don’t we fix the settings and mount it on a tripod?”
Ajay happily agreed. We took picture of each other with the exact same settings, with the camera mounted on a tripod to remove any shake.
Gleefully Ajay gave the verdict, “I am a better photographer.”
“How is that possible? I did not touch the setting. Let us ask Sam for an unbiased opinion,” I protested.
Sam declared, “You guys look the same in the pictures.”
“See. With the same setting, what you do expect?” I said.
Ajay laughed, “I am a better photographer.”
“Why?”
Ajay said calmly with a chuckle, “It is simple. Your subject is handsome i.e. me. My model is dreadful you but I still managed to make you look like me. That is why.”
I could neither laugh nor scream and thought, “With friends like Ajay, I don’t need…..”

ReplyDeleteI think if a person says he is better photographer, it is good only, for you can easily learn a lot from him for free. You can also agree with him that he is right, for we are not losing anything but only gaining more free knowledge from him.

There is a story where the photographer changes all the features of the photo to make the person look better. But the person involved is not happy because it wasn't resembling him! According to this, Ajay is not a better photographer! :)
