The Kettle

November 19th, 2008

This is a pure snap shot. I was sitting at a tea shop sited on a platform (sidewalk). Here in Burma, we have plenty of similar tea shops countrywide. Every street you go in, you see these shops. These shops occasionally become meeting place for circle of our friends. All of a sudden, I saw these kettles boiling tea. I ran to my car and took camera to have these shots. I took this shot without flash. I have tried couples of shots with ISO 400 however the shots did not turn out to be decent. Finally ended up with ISO 800.

Photo Information
Camera – Nikon D40
Exposure Time – 0.625s
ISO Speed – 800
Focal Length – 55mm

I like this picture the most. Environment, lighting, reflection, refraction, shading and blur concept are too perfect to the view. It’s seemed one Tea shop’s back side on the pavement. I love those Burmese and Indian’s style compact prototype shops for saving space and those prove that everyone can do business in small space. If you have ratings .. let me put * * * * * for this picture.

I haven’t much idea to comment your photo. But seeing your photo, I want to have a strong coffee because I am so sleepy now.

@ Aehom >> I am glad to make you happy with this shot. I currently have 2 cams, Nikon D40 and Nikon 90. If you ask me, Nikon D300 is good. But it’s way too expensive for a amateur like me… Thanks for your visit and comment…

@ Ae Hom >> It’s about US$ 1,700 for body only. And it enables you to capture 6 fps with continuous mode and max shutter speed of 1/8000 is stunning…

This is the place where I generally relax, enjoy or get lost myself.
I come here at least 20 times a day; I guess, or sometime I am just here the whole day. I get bored… come here, don’t know what to do… come here, get depression… come here.
I see different photo according to what mood I am in or what mood I want to wear for that particular day. Today, my heart is full with heat and flame, so I end up at this picture.
(You mentioned You transform your mood to photos and I love to search and feel them.)
Generally, I don’t leave any clue that I come, of coz I don’t need to write what I feel about the photo every time I come, otherwise your site will be flooded with my comments. ha ha ha…
But today I feel like dropping a message, just to let u know how much I admire your WORK & ART.
Some of these can even inspire me to be a better person. Must say “THANKS”
Okkkk… this is long enough, let me stop here.
Last words, Keep it Up, I support U always, GOOD LUCK!

@ Treasure >> Thanks a lot… Yes, I love transforming my mood into these captures. I even mention on my ABOUT page, “Every single day, I stand on my emotion to translate the world in my eyes into the language of photography. I will definitely be holding my camera until my last breath…”
