Tips and Tricks

Walking

I saw this painted wall when walking around the Shivaji Nagar market in Bangalore, India. It attracted my attention, but I need a foreground subject. So, I stood on the road side for few minutes waiting for someone to walk. I didn’t want to have too many people in the picture, so I waited for the moment I wanted. This woman came into the picture and I clicked. 

Notice that I placed her on the left hand side of the image while she was walking to the right? That’s to give the sense of the movement and direction and to apply the rule of third.

It was shot with Leica M9 and Zeiss Planar 50mm f/2.
