REFLECTION

Capturing photos in a practical environment is more difficult than I expected. The key is to capture the right subject at the right moment, and that moment might just come and go so fast that you are still in the middle of fumbling for your camera. What to capture and how to capture is also a difficult task. That subject you are taking might be static, but you have to figure out a way to shoot that photo so that it looks exciting and alluring.
