Assalamu Alaikum friends, wishing you all good health, hope you are all well. By the grace of God I am also well. Saturday morning was as beautiful as every day. That's why I performed ablution and went to the mosque to pray Fajr.

After praying, I went jogging as usual because jogging or exercising in the morning keeps the body healthy and fit. After exercising, I came home and had breakfast. Then I got busy on the Steemit platform and tied myself to selfies.

Then I went out to practice portrait photography. For this you need to know some things. Getting the settings right for portrait photography requires adjusting different aspects of the camera. As for the shutter speed in the beginning, it depends on how fast the subject is moving. Shutter speed between 1/200 and 1/400 second is suitable for normal portraits.

Shutter speed should be higher for handheld shooting to avoid camera shake. Then try using a lower ISO (eg 100 or 200). This will reduce image grain and produce better quality images. ISO can be increased if the amount of light is low but try to avoid excess grain. Then manually set the white balance for normal and accurate colors.

Now let's get practical. In the beginning I clicked on a subject that I didn't care about. That's why it's created back subject which is wrong. I then targeted and clicked the foreground flower as the subject, blurring the background and capturing it correctly.

So you can understand the type of photography by looking at the change in the upper left side image and the right side image. Now let's come to focus setting for portrait photography. Getting the focus setting right is an important factor in photography. That's why you need to select the focus mode. It is of two types. Automatic Focus In the camera's automatic focus mode, the camera will automatically focus on the subject.

This is effective in most cases but can sometimes lead to incorrect focus. After Manual Focus, you can manually set the focus by turning the focus ring of the lens. This is required when autofocus is not working properly or very fine focus is required. Then the camera has different focus points. By selecting the right point, focus can be made on that spot.

If you want to focus on the subject's eyes or face, you can use the center point. Then you have to control the aperture. If the aperture is small (f/1.8 or f/2.8) the depth of focus is shallow and only the subject will be in focus, the background will be blurred. I targeted lemongrass flowers for this. Now see the following images as practical.

The image on the left is clearly far away from my target so it is wrong and the image on the right is correctly captured because my target is in focus. So if you do photography according to such rules, you can become a skilled photographer.

However, after taking a bath in the afternoon, I prayed from the mosque and came home. After that I spent some time on Steemit. After a while, I had lunch with everyone and rested. Then in the afternoon I went to the mosque to pray. Gradually the days of Bangladesh are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. So I prayed at the appointed time and took a selfie out of the mosque.

After that I sat for a while in my cousin's pharmacy as usual and talked. After a while outside, it was time for Maghrib prayer. After praying, I came home from the mosque. After coming home I planned to have Jhal Muri party with younger brothers today. I prepared all the materials for this. The materials for making this Jhal Muri and the process of making it are mentioned below with pictures.

• Ingredients :-

Muri	250g
Roasted Boots	1/2 cup
Onion (chopped)	1/2 cup
Green chillies (chopped)	4-5 t
Cucumber (chopped)	1/2 cup
Chanachur	250g
Salt	To taste
Mustard oil	To taste
Lemon juice	1 peace

Total cost	100 BDT	5.88 Steem

Now let's start the process of making this Jhal Muri. In a big bowl I put the murree. After that, I mixed the roasted boots, chopped onion, green chillies, cucumber and chanachur with the pepper. I took it in a big bowl.

Then I combined everything and added salt to taste and mustard oil. Then mix all the ingredients well. The more mixer it is, the more flavorful it will be.

After that I filled the Jhalmuri with lemon juice completely by mixing it. Now the process of making jhalmuri is over. Then we all ate it together and enjoyed it a lot.

Then I went to the mosque and prayed and came home and wrote a post on Steemit for a while and went to sleep. So this is how I passed the day like today.
