I remember taking this photo while being jostled to and fro aboard a truck on an a dirt road going to a distant barrio in the mountain (I'll about that separately)
It had been almost 30 minutes already and I was baking in the sun when I saw our guide's shadow.
Photography is all about timing even in this day and age of digital photography. Having an eye to anticipate and capture a frame in time forever freezing that moment.
I saw his hand move and tried my best to capture it as it covered the sun but alas this was the closest I got.
In retrospect I should have done a burst shot but given I was being fried and I still have that old, old mentality I got from taking photos using film of waiting for that exact moment stopped me from utilizing it. I have heard the arguments to both side from purist and digital photographers and at times I go with the purists on waiting but secretly want to follow digital photograpers and do burst.
Anyway sharing with you this not so perfect moment of an infinitely blue sky.
Photo mine taken using an S7 Samsung Galaxy unfiltered
Never thought of using burst also. Thanks for pointing that out.

This is very neat as friend @bloghound says. What is the difference between digital photographer and purist? I just met both classes of photographers today. hehee.

I have some friends who refuse to go digital as they are still using printed film SLR and lomos. They use rolls and rolls of film from Quiapo.
Then we have those that embraced technology and went to the DSLR. They have so many SD cards because they shoot to an almost a thousand frames. Endlessly clicking.
I was in a bind when these two sets of groups debated on who was producing better images.
Each has their own merits though.

''Having an eye to anticipate and capture a frame in time forever freezing that moment.-maverickinvictus'' . PRECISELY ! taking best shot that will last forever does not depend on any digital advancement in photography... It is all about the eye of a good appreciator :)

True but a lot of the skill and experience can be done with filters and apps.
I am amazed with those with talent.

It could have been better if the hand was blocking the sun but I like it's imperfection.
