Waiting for the Light
by Kani Polat
It was a heavily cloudy and windy day. The sun was behind the clouds the whole day. While the sun descending to the horizon, the clouds began to move quicker. Some rays appeared first and the whole horizon decorated by the beautiful light.

I am an amateur photographer living in Bodrum, Turkey. I am interested in photography since two years. I like the simplicity in my life, therefore, I try to compose my photos in most simple way.

Let us not forget there are several meanings to the word “amateur”. When a person refers to being an “amateur photographer”, they are not necessarily suggesting that they lack skill, just that they are not a photographer by profession. Similarly, to suggest that someone is a “professional photographer”, simply because they take good pictures, is to misconstrue the usage of this phrase in standard English.
