English is a wonderful language, but when it comes to understand its core, there are very few books as this one, which explains everything in-depth with a wide range of examples and exercises, by focusing on practical and theoretical aspects from a linguistic perspective. The aim of this book is slightly different from the hundreds of books out there. Not only we put every building block of English language for in-depth understanding, but this book will build confidence, encourage autonomy among the learners.

Each and every language has different stages of learning, for different levels of learners, so does the English language. It is wise that we’d better understand the basics to minimize our errors while going through its structure from basic to advance.

To us, color is a visual experience. It’s a perception that refers to human physiological and psychological responses to light. It is light that colors our vision with its own rhythm, modes, and harmonies, in all possible colors, in the visible spectrum.

Every moment consists of colors, whether vibrant or flat. From the moment of sunrise to sunset, or even at night, from definitions to attributes, from your camera display and then to final outputs, color is always there.

There are various ways to tell a story. In photography that story keeps on changing with the ever-changing light and shadow. They play their dramatic roles with emotion and mood. Sometimes we highlight subjects, which lights do not want to highlight. At times the inner portrays the outer, and the outer portrays the inner. In this way, we keep the story open for imagination, a mystery with drama that stands out with simplicity.

Yes, we are talking about ‘Silhouette’, a photography technique that conveys emotion and mood through the lens of the beholder. To capture the genuine gesture in different situations and difficult light conditions, silhouette is always ideal.

The most interesting and effective photographs tend to be those with a center of interest that contrasts strongly with the background; and when that background is soft out-of-focus, we identify them as aesthetic, especially by the quality of its blur.

It is the bokeh that makes the background blur and pleasing. Nevertheless, bokeh isn’t just about having expensive lenses and shooting wide open or picking a background with small light sources far away, it is in fact about how creatively we draw attention to the main subject, keeping it sharp and at the same time making the background get blurred aesthetically and less distracting. Capturing bokeh creatively needs step-by-step guidance and practice, and this is what this guide is all about.
