Making of Rangoli

This Rangoli was made during Navaratri festival in 2018. It took nearly 3 hours to complete this. My wife and daughter takes good interest in working with me while I am making these Rangolis...

Silhoutte photography

1st photo is the abrasive string (மாஞ்சா நூல்) which is used to fly kites. 

2nd photo: Used that string to create a  silhouette with the sunrise in background. Observe carefully that the string gives us the illusion of a birds nest in this lighting and exposure.

3rd photo is the crow which was shot on the same day while it was standing on a dish antenna.

Final output is what you see where all the three has been merged using the Double exposure technique.

 

Samsung S9+ was used to take all these shots including the edit.
