Framed in:
Framed out :This photograph marks the first mobile click featured in this blog, captured with my HTC Desire HD. With technology constantly evolving, this shift was inevitable. This image reaffirms the idea that a good frame doesn’t require a high-end camera or lenses; it’s all about being in the right place at the right time, with the right mindset.
I was on a weekend trip to my friend Nitha’s place in Manipal. She was busy with work on a Saturday, so I had the day to explore alone. Her husband’s Thunderbird was at my disposal, making solo roaming an adventure I gladly embraced. I rode to Kollur without any specific purpose, except for the joy of the ride itself. After a peaceful darshan at the Mookambika temple, I wanted to capture the feeling of being alone on the road and the euphoria that came with it.
It was the golden hour, with the slanting rays of winter transforming the world into something magical. When I noticed the interplay of light on a bunch of grasses, I knew I had found a promising frame. I parked the bike in the shade, stepped back a bit, and took the shot. And just like that, “Beyond Nothingness” was born!
