The Lonely Bird


A lonely bird in the sunset. Upon receiving the enlightenment that a camera is just a tool for a photographer as a hammer to a carpenter, yes, the truth is hard to swallow but the truth is the truth. In realising the intrinsinc element, I endeavour to learn the secret behind what puts the "VavaVoom" or the "Wow" factor into a picture. I discovered that "composition" is the key element I lack. Hence, what makes a good composition? This is a million dollar question. The answer: The beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.... and I am still learning until today, eager to find out the answer to the question above. There are no hard and fast rules, the learning process is ardously slow and painfull. I know the above picture sucks, but then, it was my first picture to fuse a subject with lines, shapes, colours and lights. Nonetheless, with all my efforts, the reward is still a lame picture. What a disappointment indeed. Hope for a better chance next time.

Beautiful? I think this is crap. Look at the blown highlights, and a pigeon? Oh my god.
