A little photography

Title: Simple Joys

As I was walking towards a Chinese Temple in Armenian Street, Penang I got attracted by the beautiful vibrant flowers hanging outside a row of flower shops. I looked inside and there was a man from India sitting down and making flower garlands. What I found interesting was the fact that he wasn't just making flower garlands but sharing a laugh and talking stories about his family in India with his friends from the shops beside. They were all so content and happy despite being away from their families and having to do such tedious work under the scorching Sun. At the moment I felt the urge to approach him and ask for a picture.The moment I asked he was so excited and honored. I would consider myself lucky to have gotten the opportunity to capture that moment. 

Camera setting: 
This picture was taken in TV mode. For the editing part, I decreased the brightness a little. The was some vibrance and exposure added to the picture in order to make the colors of the flowers brighter. Contrast and also offset were used to increase the shadows and make him stand out. The shutter speed was set to low because i wanted his movements of him making the garland to be obvious.
