. I stopped to take a picture while the others walked ahead. When i showed them the picture, they asked "What can you do with this picture? How many times will you look at it?"Its a pity that some people dont have an eye for photography. I like to think i do. This is not the first time i got comments like these. It's happened many times before whenever i send pictures to friends. The first question they ask is "where are the people?"
Some people may ask others to come closer together so that they fit in the picture, but i ask others to move out of the frame if i like the scenary better. Some people ask me "why do you take picture of trees and other objects?" while some others ask me "what camera did you use to take this picture?". Its the latter kind whose opinion matters. I feel proud when i tell them that i used my ordinary 2mp sony ericsson phone camera.
Landscape/Nature photohrapy is one of my favourite hobbies, along with biking and listening to music. The only time when i can do all of it at the same time is when i am on a bike trip to some place away from the city life, while i listenin to music and cruise the highways with stops for photograpy wherever the scenary makes me stop. It leaves you with a fresh feeling for the entire month and an eagerness to go on another such trip again.
I am still stuck on a hangover of sorts from the previous 5 day ride. When i am at home, everything is a routine. wake up at the same time, go to office, sit at the same desk, next to the same people, take some cafeteria breaks with the same people, go home, sleep , repeat. It gets really boring. When you are on a bike ride, everything is different. You sleep at different hotels every night, wake up early, hit the highway, stop at a new place for breakfast, a new highway dhaba for lunch/dinner and visit places you haent been to before. Thats the good life, a good break from the daily routine, everyone must try it atleast once. If you do, you will thank me later
