Sunset and the Still Life

This is one of my favorite photos. Captured at a restaurant near Chennai Airport while we were returning from Andaman and Nicobar Islands. We really had a lot of time to kill. To be precise, at least 5 hours before boarding our next flight to Mumbai. Well, a little before the sunset the view outside the hotel was amazing. A lady at the table near us was served her drink but she seemed a little too busy writing something down in a diary. And there you can see the glass filled with the drink lying idle and trying to match with the color of the sunset. If you're wondering that you've seen this picture before, then yes, I have posted this one again. Earlier I feel I had raised the contrast bar a little too much. This was shot with our Canon A710 IS digital camera. I really like this picture a lot. Hope you'll like it too. The most amazing thing about Photography is that you can capture and save the moments you really love.

    That is a classic airport photo. A moment of life, suspended between two flights. And the colours are beautiful.
