SLC-S29/W3 | How to Photograph Rivers / Streams / Waterfalls
Assalamu Alaikum friends. Today I am here to participate in a wonderful Steemit challenge competition organized by @walictd. The Topic of this challenge is SLC-S29/W3 | How to Photograph Rivers / Streams / Waterfalls. So let's get started.
Kumudini Hospital, which is famous in the whole of Asia, is located on the south side of the old bus stand in Mirzapur. The huge Lohjang River is located on the south side of that hospital. It is the cleanest and quietest river in our area. There are no waves in it, but it flows to its destination year after year. Since I have an Android mobile phone, it is natural for my phone camera to have a slow shutter speed.
Initially, I was standing on one side of the river and set my phone camera beautifully at a perfect angle. I captured the river water clearly by keeping the shutter speed low. Then I clicked a few pictures by reducing the shutter speed so that the picture is not blurry.

This time when the boat was close to me, I thought I would try to capture some of the action here. As a fast shutter speed, I increased the shutter speed of my phone a little. In this, you can see that the water under the boat looks a little like waves. Also, I captured this scene when the boatman in the boat was hitting the water with his foot.
He was setting small bottles in the water to catch fish. Basically, shrimps are caught in small bottles here and this is a fishing trap. Here, I increased the shutter speed of my phone camera a little and captured a few pictures, see the result for yourself. The small waves created in the water were captured.

This time I moved a little because this time I have to observe in a different way what is actually in this river. This is absolutely correct. I think that when taking pictures of a river or a waterfall, it is very important to determine a main object as the center of attention. Here I focused on the big rocks and the boat as the main objects.
I stood on the bank of the river and set an angle where the river is on the left and the small rocks on the right. Here the rocks are the main subject. Then I went up a little and set a boat in the distance as the subject and took a picture. In addition, there was another boat tied up on the other side of the river. I took a picture focusing on that boat.

This river was neglected for the past few years, but the government has made this river a river, so stones have been placed on both banks of the river. The reason for placing stones on both sides is that sometimes river erosion occurs. Therefore, stones have been placed on both sides to prevent river erosion and this river has now been recognized as a clean river. Many tourists come from far and wide to see the beauty of this river. Some grass has been planted beautifully on the banks of the river and it is popular as a photography spot in the afternoon.
The view in front of the river from a distance is beautiful. Besides, the light green water looks even more beautiful because of the stones on the banks of the river. This natural flow of the river shows our beauty. To capture this natural beauty of the fish in the river, you must choose a calm river. This river has been calm for a long time, so I was able to click pictures from any angle here.

I have given more importance to this road in front of the river to guide the viewer's eye from the foreground to the background, as the river in front can be clearly seen from this road. You can see every angle of the river from any part of this road.
So I tried to show the pictures from different angles while standing on the road. There was the sound of calm water and a bridge on the side which was a bamboo bridge. All in all, this Lohjang River is a wonderful scenic view with the environment.
