ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I was travelling to Taiwan. There was a lay over at Hong Kong. While walking in transit on the airport I encountered a sitting area where only one person was sitting, perhaps waiting for the flight. I had my Nikon f80 camera along with me. I Composed the frame with runway area in the background. I had to wait a lot to get an empty frame as lot of people were walking in front of me. After composing, I waited again, hoping to get a flying plane in the background. After waiting for about three minutes, constantly looking through the viewfinder, when I lost the hope, suddenly an air plane flew inside the frame. I clicked with a thud in my heart. Through out the journey I kept on thinking whether the flying plane was composed at the right place inside the frame. After a month when I got the negatives developed, I found the plane at the golden point inside the frame, I couldn't have asked for a better accident than this!
