Bài mẫu Speaking Part 2 - Chủ đề Photography

My favourite photograph is the one which hangs in my bedroom that of me and my entire family - my family which consists of my parents, my kids and my spouse. This photograph was taken on the eve of an auspicious festival of India which goes by the name of Diwali. The photograph was taken around two years back at our house by a professional photographer we hired from our area.

The reason why I would label this photograph as my favourite is that it is on this occasion that we all had the opportunity to be in the company of one another. It is so because I am a working executive and I generally remain busy on my tour job and get too little time to spend with my entire family. However, on this particular occasion, when this photograph was clicked, fortunately, I was available in my hometown to spend the entire weekend in their company.

I like to look at this photograph very often and this gives me a delightful feeling. This is one of the prominent souvenirs of our family bonding and the reminder that family comes first. The happy moment of family members and their smiles in the photo reminds me how blessed and privileged I am to have such a happy and contented family life.

Speaking Part 3 - Topic Photography

1. How to take a good photo?

Well, I am not a professional photographer and do not know much about the professional aspects of taking quality photos. However, as a layman in the world of professional photography, I can say that it takes a good camera, a great passion, proper lighting, angel and a great object to take a good photograph.

Sometimes an expensive camera that has good features is quite helpful in taking a nice shot. From my experience, I can say that if someone has a powerful camera, he can take some good pictures. Moreover, a passion on taking good photos is also required. Lighting is another aspect that accentuates the objects of a photo and probably this is why professional photographers often wait several hours to take a single shot. Furthermore, the angle of the object or scenery, the way they are captured in the frame and the object itself is important to make a photograph worthy of praise.

2. When do people use the camera?

I guess professional journalists and photographers carry their cameras most of the time. But the ordinary people mostly use a camera whenever they visit a new place as they want to capture the beauty of the place as well as the memory. People also use cameras whenever they meet old friends, colleagues and relatives and take snaps of the group. Parents often take pictures of their children and finally in my country, I have noticed that people use cameras on different festivals and occasions.

However, these days most of the people have smartphones that come with powerful built-in cameras. This is why mass people do not carry cameras that much and take photos using their cell phones most of the time.

3. How can the new technology put cinema’s skill advanced?

Well, I think the technology has entirely changed the way we used to use our cameras.  We have now powerful DSLR cameras and anyone can take photos these days. Moreover, the powerful zooming system, night-view and online photo editing features enable us to take great photos, edit them instantly and share them on our favourite social networking websites like Facebook or Google Plus. Memory cards have replaced the photo-films entirely and we have much freedom on taking pictures than our previous generation had. I can recall some of the memories from my childhood when we had to hire a cameraman to take out photos and wait for more than a week to get those pictures printed. On the contrary, we no longer need to print our photos these days and can instantly see and share it with the help of our cellphones and computers. Thanks to the modern technology - photography is no longer is a sophisticated domain, it is, in fact, everybody's hobby nowadays.

4.Do you like taking photos? Why or Why not?

Yes, I like to take photos, not selfies, but the photos of natural beauties and worth capturing objects. Whenever I have the mood and I find the right object, I try to capture it. I would not say I am a very good photographer and know many things about the professional photography, but like any other curious person, I like to capture great moments and sceneries. I also run a blog where I often publish the photos I take.

5. Why selfies are so popular these days? Do you like to take selfies?

Thank you for the question. Selfie is the way of taking photographs using cell phone's front camera and it has recently gained huge popularity among people. They love to take selfies for several reasons and the most important thing about the selfie is that people can take it by themselves without any support from others. They can pose as per their will and also can take other people in the frame at the same time. The most important thing is that this is a cost-effective way to get photos taken. Sharing selfies on social networking websites is easier for its small properties. If the camera functions well, some of the nice photos could be captured by the selfie. Therefore, selfies have become popular. And yes, I like to take selfies.

6. Storing pictures has become much more convenient on the Internet. What are some advantages of this? Do you use any digital photo sharing or storing service? Which one?

Yes, storing pictures is more convenient using the Internet. Earlier, people used to print photos to store. They also preserved the photo negatives too to print the photos at a later time. But with the advancement of technology, photo storing is easier now. When stored on the Internet, someone can have access to photos instantly which is not possible for printed photos. Someone can get the desired photo from the digital storage anytime, share it with others, use some editing features and can do it all for free.

I also use my Facebook profile to share my photos. It also helps to store the photos too. I also use my google drive and Flickr to store the photos and can access them whenever I need.
