The way to improve any form of art is to practice. Whenever I am in Pune I go for a hike on ARAI, a hill behind our house. This was a perfect opportunity to test my skills and improve them because it was a combination of different subjects like <a href=\"https:\/\/shruti.karandikar.org\/?page_id=1163\">people<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/shruti.karandikar.org\/?page_id=939\">birds<\/a>, animals, landscapes, etc. Due to this diversity, I had the opportunity to explore different lenses and settings for each situation. For example, if I wanted to capture the scenery then a Wide angle lens would be ideal because it makes the background objects look smaller, and further away from the camera. I could get a good picture from a normal lens as well but a wide-angle lens is specifically used for this and I wanted to learn more about different lenses to better understand photography.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made a list of things I wanted to capture and which lens would be ideal for it. It took me the next three days to go through all of them and I analyzed why a picture is good and how I could improve the bad ones. For example, I had previously thought that a wide-angle lens would be better suited for capturing the <a href=\"https:\/\/shruti.karandikar.org\/?page_id=880\">sunset<\/a> but after a lot of trial and error, I realized that a telephoto lens is better.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div
