Photography.

 Photographers around the world are highly talented, and this profession itself requires extreme dedication and motivation to achieve your goal. While I haven't been into photography in the past, this is a  small effort from my side to try and spark my interest in photography.

Photo of something blue using rule of thirds.

This is a photo of my portable and rechargeable study lamp. This is specifically useful when I'm at my hostel in NUST, as my roommates tend to sleep early, while me being the night owl, has to get things done throughout the night.

Photo of something Yellow using the rule of thirds.

This chandelier is one from my neighbour's home and it  adds quite a lot, instantly lighting up the dining room. The best part is, it is  custom made so that it goes with the surroundings of the dining room. The crystals hanging on the sides add to the beauty. As per my neighbours, this is one of the most expensive possession in their home.

Picture of something using fill the frame.

This is a random stray cat we fed, but now shows up almost every single day for food. Lately, it started to sleep just around the corner of our garage and is also loved by my younger siblings. This cute ball of fur  can almost be seen at this spot, in this very position, chilling and living life to the fullest almost every single day.

Interesting photo of a building from down low.

The building in the above picture is a mosque/madrassa ,where my journey towards education began. I spent about a quarter of my childhood coming here daily in the afternoon, few hours before sunset to read the Holy book of Quran as well as get a short lecture on the worldly affairs that need to be dealt with the Islamic way. I met great friends here, and would often play cricket with them along the road that links up with the madrassa. This place is a huge part of my subconscious mind, and everything learnt here whether related to the holy book of Quran or life in general, has always turned out to be beneficial for me in my practical life. Although we've now left the area ,but I still, to date cherish the wonderful memories I made here. 

Using leading lines, take a photo of a person or thing.

This picture is of the road right outside my grandparent's home. I spent a part of my childhood  living in a joint family system ,where there would be 2 to 3 families residing under a single roof. This made life with my cousins really special as we would spent most our time playing cricket and roaming around aimlessly in these very roads We would sit on these footpaths and would keep on talking about our daily affairs along with munching on our snacks. 

Using different leading lines, take a photo of different person or thing.

The picture above might be a corridor for most of those reading, but for me, this is the place where I made the most beautiful memories during my A levels. This is the corridor of Pakistan school Muscat, where I spent almost a decade of my life, and made everlasting friends. Pakistan school Muscat has an education system where classes from primary education to A levels are all within the vicinity of one campus, which eventually caused me to complete all 12 years of my school/college education in the same campus. Thus, I made a lot of great and loyal friends here, who aren't here with me in university, but still, have a magical influence over me, which would last forever.

Vertical portrait of a friend. 

This is Syed Muhammad Hassan Kazmi from ME-12C, a day scholar at SMME. Although, we couldn't meet on campus due to the restrictions implemented keeping the pandemic in view, but still ended up being friends with him. He was awarded the title of "MEME LORD" recently in the SMME meme wars, an event which is hosted by the students of SMME on Facebook. He is undoubtedly, one of the most socially and academically active guy here in SMME. Its his first semester, and he got selected for almost every society that interviewed him. His strong network with sophomores and seniors is always of good help as it helps us sort out many confusions, especially with the DL mode of education.

Horizontal portrait of a friend/classmate.

The picture above is of Sumran Shahid, from our very own ME-12C and is one of the 'big brain' of our class. He is a jack of all trades ,super talented and is excelling in almost every other course or extra-curricular activity. Although, I couldn't interact with him while we were studying in FTF( face to face) mode , he remained super helpful throughout DL( distance learning) mode. Surprisingly, I came to know more about this dynamic lad during DL  mode as compared to FTF. And not to forget his intense computer programming skills , he has been helping all of us get a hold of programming since day 1 of this semester.

A creative photo of yourself.

This photo is from the wedding ceremony of one of my closest cousins. It was great fun, as a family reunion took place before the ceremony under a single roof. Living overseas for a huge part of my life, this was one of the few Pakistani weddings I attended. This was the only good thing that happened to our family in the midst of a pandemic. A  day or two after the event, the second wave of coronavirus was declared, and educational institutes across the country were forced to move to Distance learning(DL) , and to date, we are forced inside homes, pushing through a pandemic and alongside  handling immense pressure of academics.
