"just then" and "just when"

images taken in Old City : Ahmedabad, March 2008

At certain times, photography is all about the "moment", the idea is to capture the "frame" at that split second, otherwise you miss the "shot".There are times when one ends up seeing "frames" and wishes that he/she had a camera to capture it. Even though, the preceding shots have been taken on a heritage-walk-photography trip, i have aimed to capture the "frames" at that split second.

Like for instance, in the first shot, my friend in the picture was very co-operative! The minute i told him "freeze", he "froze"..and i could capture the "pink glow" around him (or the door!) at that split second...and wahlahh i had my freeze frame! (a lot of times, this process is done backwards; a person takes the picture and adds a series of explanations to justify how and why the image is the way it is...but trust me; "this" time i had actually "seen" the frame before i clicked the shutter!!)

In the second one, i wanted to capture the light and shadow of the pillars etc (yawwwwn!), "just then" the priest (im forgetting the exact term) walked by and i "clicked" ...though, later when i look at the picture ; it looks like it has been taken "just when" the guy was passing the spot where the sun-rays passes through the pillars.So the second image is an amalgamation of the words "just then" and "just when" to form a comparitively nice black and white image! 

(p.s- i know iv been using a lot of " " in the above article...but it just helps to emphasize certain pointers, better.)
