A slow drift from the deck of a wooden houseboat on calm backwaters at your chosen time, palms sliding past, a fisherman casting a net from a canoe, egrets lifting from reeds, mist and soft light.
Shooting from the deck makes it feel like a journey. Palms, a fisherman and egrets give the scene life without needing a story. Still water and mist slow the pace, which is the feeling backwaters are known for.
The houseboat looks like a cruise ship.
Fix: Describe it as a wooden boat with a curved thatched roof, and keep some of the deck in the frame.
- The net cast is a blur. Ask for the net opening in a wide circle in the air before it lands.
- The water is choppy. Ask for still, mirror-like water with gentle ripples from the boat.
Ask for the same drift at sunset with lamps lit on the boats and the palms dark against an orange sky.
