Description

It was starting to get dark and I had only 1 decent shot to take back home. Another 15 minutes – and no luck, I placed the camera on self-timer and ran to the location. These 2 shots would work but I was not happy; I had the perfect picture in mind and I was forced to return without one-after waiting 40 minutes. As I walked back through the trails I passed a couple, a nod and smile as we continued walking in opposite directions. After about 10 steps I turned around, followed them. They turned into the corner - they might have noticed me, following, but they continued – I wanted them to continue and not notice me. I was 5 yards behind them - perfect – just the perfect distance…I turned into the corner, pointed the camera and took 15 shots in less than 30 sec – turned around and walked back to the car…. Shot was much closer to what I imagined it to be :). Moments are created ..a photographer strives to capture them

Well done Vikas. Your hard work paid off. Excellent composition and a sense of romance. Lagta hai aap mohabbat ke chakkar me par gaye ho. Aacha hai. Mohabbat zindgi me zarror hona chahiye. Khush raho. Tarunda. #2895547
