Dilemma in a Photographer

Dilemma how to capture a subject or rather finding a subject is the toughest task any photographer faces. He should be extremely lucky at the right place at the right time with right lighting conditions with right equipment with right imagination and with right frame of mind.  Nothing will wait for him. It needs tremedous amount of dedication, passion and patience.. it is tougher when you are stranded in place where the nature offer you nothing but the man made concrete jungles ; and to shoot mechanical life is aways painfull.. the subjects are  limited.. when you are not in this profession but just passion .. the time limits.. when you are living in a arab country .. cant cross the social barriers.. here are some shots i tried while wandering for a subject to shoot..

As you see something the mind started working how it can be converted to a presentable picture..how external controls can be utilised . Background of this picture is actully covered with black cloth and the exposure is adjusted to highlight the direct light only. It is actually branch of the first tree picture which the subject was againt  a white wall.

this shot i was actually framing the hanging sprout of a palm tree and never expected a bird to come and sit there .. i have never seen this bird again sitting in this palm tree which is just close to my kitchen.. luck often comes with with a wrong step in right direction... ohh thats why we call it as luck..
