Photography does not rank high on the list of hobbies for the average Malaysianindians?. Indians are not averse to photography, as can be attested to by any visit to a traditional Indian home, the walls are typically draped with large, elaborately framed family pictures. However, most Indians rely on studios and professional photographers to take formal pictures. For major occasions such as weddings, photographers are hired to record the proceedings. Why?

The question..
1. Are they lazy to snap pictures?
2. Expensive ‘Gadgets’?
3. Unaware of the photography world?
4. Shy to carry the around the equipment or snap infront of crowds?

It even worst, When comes to photography and videography, Its not possible for us to carry so many gadgets travelling around. Most of the point and shoot cameras have video mode which enable you to shoot short movies but you can’t do the same with an DSLR camera (profesional photography). So if you are carrying an SLR, you are forced to carry another camera which can record movies. If you are like me carrying more than one lens which is already a burden, carrying one more camera is a much bigger pain.

When it comes to take photo in public places or infront of a group of people we will feel uncomfortable. This is so common when you’re 1st start to snap pictures. Even myself felt the same way until now. I did the survey with some of my indian friends. These are the option they choose, supported by their answer. (Quite funny)

2. Expensive ‘Gadgets’?

Mr Mohan says:
1. Are they lazy to snap pictures?

Mr Vinoth says:
3. Unaware of the photography world?
alot of people dont see photography and photos as art, to them its just another picture

Ms Devi says:
3. Unaware of the photography world?

Ms Punitha says:
3. Unaware of the photography world?
They just snap for fun, not as an interest. Because! most of the indians snap just for themselves..to keep it as their memories..

Mr Kavilan says:
1) not lazy, just dont have the skills
2) yep, expensive… im content wit simple shots from my camera fone
3) photography worls is just of no interest for me
4) not shy.. just dont wanna be carrying bulky equipment all around.. i only take photos on holiday trips

A mention must be given to the make up department for making the characters visually believable.

Some of the scenes really showcased the maturity of the talents and this is apparent by the way S. Haridhass and M. Jasmin complemented each other on screen."Yantra" was promoted as the first Malaysian film with 3D animation and although it was a bold move, it is good to know that Malaysian film-making is slowly taking steps in order to give film enthusiasts an extra value for their money.
