I was really having a hard time finding a good frame and was wandering clueless. I do not know what got into me but it was a beautiful sea beach and it was as if I was walking blindly. Desperately shooting away in the hope of getting that perfect frame. But perfection is like giving marks to yourself and marks are numbers and numbers are infinite.
Trying out each and every move....each and every trick up my sleeve. This continued for almost 3 hours. I kept running and lying and rolling all over the beach but all in vain. In photography, the time when the sun sets and rises is called the Golden hour as the light is perfect!! Well.....almost perfect. It was way past Golden hour and realized I have lost my chance of a good frame. Tired and dirty and hungry, I sat down. After 20 mins, I calmed down.
Closed my eyes.....
Took a deep breath.....
Listened to the sounds of the beach.....the sea......
Forgot about frames, pictures, photography, techniques......
and then opened my eyes.
This guy was selling puffed corn and on the beach. I went past him over and over again but did not notice him. "How is that possible?" - I said to myself.
This is not a very great shot but when you are hungry then even a piece of bread is God to you.
