Decoding secrets of good visuals - What makes some images and photographs stand out from the crowd

Some tips, tricks and subjects of images, graphics and photographs which is bound to cast a spell

1)     B&W background subject with semi-transparent bright techno/pop color in      foreground
2)     Picture with range of depth and focus
3)     Green appeal in innovative way
4)     Lush rainy/moist green landscape in terra incognita
5)     Realistic corporate affair capturing the mood of subject and vibes of business  minus ( - ) plastic smiles
6)     Simple things in perspective view
7)     Pattern or geometry unseen before
8)     A well framed shot of pets or wildlife with serious engaging looks
9)     Capturing Interactive and playful pets
10)  Green appeal in innovative way
11)  Bird’s eye view of Rooftop innovation
12)  Well framed commercial subject
13)  Black & Yellow Composition
14)  A well framed worm’s eye view of skyscraper or anything towering
15)  Caves or any undulating interior, lit with bright morning sun displaying    excellent interplay of light and shadow
16)  Translucent colored containers



17)  Hand drawn-water color effect in this era of 3D Simulation
18)  Morning sun rays filtered through simply anything
19)  Innumerable colorful interplay of sunlight and cloud at dawn, dusk further  accentuated if captured in hills
20)  Laughing giggling girls
21)  Asymmetrically captured frame of symmetrical building or symmetrical  something
22)  Translucent building glowing from inside - filtered hint of colors further acts  as charm
23)  White doodle on black background, call it old school blackboard nostalgia or  whatever!
24)  Futuristic ambiance and setting seemingly within reach in near future, not  just another fancy unreachable idiosyncrasy
25)  Anything overwhelmingly luxurious and classic specially interiors

More to come….

Geofencing : Emerging Management Trends in Urban and Regional planning

By- Anoop Jha

Exploring Virtual Technology for Physical Planning

Geofencing is a fascinating technology which virtually defines the domain of real world. They do not have to build a fortress to keep the physical domain of any scale and type safe like the old world, now it can be done with a virtual protective blanket. Domain can be anything from a home or yard or shop to an agricultural field, to a region.

Geofencing are satellite Global positioning system (GPS) based technology concept which demarcates the boundary of a given area and monitors any to and fro movement from and within this delineated boundary. Geofencing tracks dynamism within the static boundary and give alert to concerned authorities and individuals regarding any suspicious or unusual activity through different modes like alarm, sms etc. Geofencing can prove to be a very useful tool for security management, fleet tracking, dockyard operation, individual business owners, farmers, Construction sites, etc. and likely to be a regular feature of projects and properties in near future.

Changing Scale of Innovation – from Architecture to Urban Planning

By- Anoop Jha

Next generation of Urban Planning inspired by Architecture Evolution

Evolution of Construction Technology and new construction Materials inspired the Architects in past to experiment with the form, scale and aesthetics of buildings, technology fueled the growth of architectural innovation and the broadened vista of modern architecture. Complex and sophisticated simulation tools and software, advanced construction equipments, advanced structural engineering and emergence of new stronger and flexible construction materials combined with creativity of Architects made this architectural revolution possible. Urban planning was of relatively much larger and complex nature, incorporating architecture as one of the element. For the long period of time technology was of little importance in urban planning except the transportation revolution of Mass Rapid transit systems and emergence of steel as high-rise construction material which shaped the development of urban planning to some extent.

Technology in recent past has made tremendous development like satellite images and advanced mapping technology, Geographical Information System (GIS), sophisticated analytical tools and software, new resource management techniques, modeling prediction tools, automation, integrated infrastructure systems etc. and it is growing exponentially, which is giving tremendous possibilities for urban planners to experiment in the field of urban habitation, buildings of near impossible height and scale, urban transit systems, environment, and core urban infrastructure, utilizing resources, use of previously untapped potential of region and inaccessible terrains, and planning in extreme climate. We can see the impact of state of art technology manifesting itself in the new planned cities, future urban development proposals, emerging revolutionary thoughts on next generation of cities. The kind of innovation which was only visible in architectural domain till recent past is now have become a regular feature of urban planning processes an proposals.
