Shadowy, by Nirupam Roy

It was my previous tour to the sea, in New Digha in WestBengal. The first day was a failure as the sky was overcast. On the next day, we went to Udaypur sea-beach and stayed there from 4:15 a.m for the fishermen. Perhaps it was 4:50 a.m. and had a little bit of light. They started their activities for the next voyage that gave me the opportunity to present them in that fashion. Unfortunately it was a hand-held shot as I was also on the water. No chance was there to place tripod on the sand with waving water.

Nirupam Roy is from a small town Tufanganj, located in CoochBehar District in WestBengal, India. Being a school teacher, entering into this unique arena is really dramatic for him. Going to school he always thinks about the phenomena of the society, but could not understand how the common yet beautiful aspects can be modified represented. Though he has done some documentary video works in YouTube, but it did not satisfy him. Then in one summer he planned a family trip to Orrisa, India. There he realized the necessity of a camera to capture the scenic beauty of the place surrounded by several sea-coasts. At the same time he wanted to photograph his family, especially his son Arkapravo, and bought his first camera Canon SX 40 HS. After returning home, he has fallen in love with photography passionately, and bought the DSLR, NikonD5000. Now-a-days friends rebuked him by telling that camera becomes his only obsession. But Nirupam believes it becomes his passion because he always thinks how the new concept of photography can be produced. Photography completely changes his whole attitude towards nature and human being. It gives him a sort of peace to his weary mind, as if a blessings from Almighty.
