Captured Chronicles Wins the Outside-My-Door Photo Challenge!
I am thrilled to announce that my photograph "Through the Mesh" has won the prestigious Outside-My-Door Photo Challenge! This recognition is a testament to the power of creativity and the beauty found in unexpected places.
The Winning Photograph: "Through the Mesh"
Description:
This photograph captures a detailed, close-up view of a torn mesh screen, with a backdrop of lush greenery blurred into soft bokeh. The ragged edges of the mesh frame the vibrant, out-of-focus leaves and sunlight, creating a contrast between the man-made material and the natural world beyond. The image evokes themes of imperfection, the passage of time, and the persistence of nature reclaiming space. The focus on the damaged section of the mesh invites viewers to contemplate what lies beyond barriers and the beauty found in unexpected places.

Behind the Shot
Where did you take this photo? This photo was taken right at home in Tamil Nadu, India. The torn mesh screen, juxtaposed with the lush greenery in the background, offered a perfect canvas to explore themes of imperfection and nature's resilience.
What time of day? I captured this shot in the early morning when the sunlight was just right, creating a beautiful bokeh effect with the greenery beyond the mesh.
Anything worth sharing about lighting? The natural morning light played a crucial role in this image. It highlighted the torn edges of the mesh and created a soft, blurred backdrop, adding depth and contrast to the scene.
Equipment Used I used my Vivo 1904 smartphone to take this photo. Here are the settings:
- Aperture: 22000/10000
- ISO: 111
- Shutter: 199/10000
- Focal Length: 3650/1000
- Date Taken: 29-06-2024

Inspiration Behind the Photo I was inspired by the idea of looking beyond barriers and finding beauty in imperfections. The torn mesh symbolized obstacles, while the vibrant greenery represented the potential and beauty that lies beyond.
Post-Processing Yes, I did some basic post-processing to enhance the colors and contrast, ensuring the mesh edges and the background were distinct yet harmonious.
Equipment in My Bag As a smartphone photographer, my kit is pretty simple. I always have my Vivo 1904 with me. The portability and ease of use make it perfect for capturing spontaneous moments.
Advice for Others Trying to Capture Something Similar Photography is all about one's viewing angle and creativity. The camera doesn't play a major role; it's the perspective of the photographer that makes the difference. As a smartphone photographer, I believe that sharing our creative views with the world is the essence of photography. You don't need high-end equipment—your unique angles and vision are what truly matter.
