Hi Sharmila, Your story was good. Welcome to the photojournalism... The pic are good too, next time shoot some funky wide angles or some closeups or macros to support your story. Think beyond portraits and landscapes. e.g. there is a mention of a icecandy in your story, the colourful closeup of an ice candy or a closeup of a kid eating it would've had added nice flavour to the story. Keep blogging. Sachin
Hi! I'd suggest that you stick to being yourself ... believe me ... if you start to see every moment of your trip thru your lenses ... not only wld u not be able to enjoy with your other senses ... but also will hardly remember anything of your trips.So u shld know when to hang up that camera and take a deep breath and see a wider angle ... sans the lenses.
I fully agree to your suggestion. Even I have experienced this duel inside me between Sharmila, the traveler and Sharmila - the photographer -that too armature. I have seen Professional photographers at my PSI outing. They exactly know the right moment to take a picture. But being an armature, you feel that if you keep your camera away for even a moment, you might miss a good photo opportunity.
Apart from that this was my first trip with my new camera, so the photographer won. But it is very important to keep balance with both aspects of your personality when you are traveling.
