Fate of Silhouette (II)
I apologise for being a plebeian, but I am putting these thoughts just for "evlolutionary" reasons. (Don't ask me to exemplify.)
Someone asked me what is the fundamental difference between being in 'Love' and having a 'Crush'.
You have a crush on someone with whom you would like to have your lunch. But you love someone... whom you are happy to see having lunch.Some definitions are not that easily applicable to all... however, these what I myself defined (for myself) makes me ponder about that song "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" by Bryan Adams.
You have a crush on someone with whom you would like to sleep. But you love someone whom you wud like to see peacefully sleeping.
You have a crush on someone for whom you stay hungry until that person eats. But you love someone for whom you yourself eat on time so that the other person doesn't feel bad.
At a young age it is tough to differentiate between these two feelings and the result is always on an unhappy note. However, it is very true that even at later age this difference remains obscure to many.
These picture (the entire set) is shot of Second Hooghly Bridge from the Outram Ghat.
Extremely low light caused some noise in the pictures due to low exposure, which in turn is due to the unavailability of a tripod!
I loved the theme of the second picture (in the thumbnail set) though the challenge was to get a good image in low-light. The man was rowing fast while we needed long exposure time for a clear image. High exposure time would badly ghost the picture. Even then, the magic of my camera is evident!
I am awestruck the subject (the old brick chimney) in the magnificent colours of the sky in the fourth and fifth picture.
PS: Thanks to Tirthanker for accompanying me and being there beside me while these pictures were shot. Many of these frames are his ideas and he had shot some pictures (not uploaded) too.
