| 説明 | even with the regular blasts and utter bullshit from politicians.. kudos to the city.. Mumbai!! and its people!EXIF: Canon 1000D + Canon 18-55 IS18mm || f/10 || 8 Sec || ISO 200Story behind the shot Very interesting story to capture this. 2 weeks back i was in Mumbai for just two days (only one night stay).. so had only one chance to get the picture of this beautiful bridge at night. I was awake since 3 AM and had some work.. so had to get back to hotel quickly.After struggle to get the "right spot" and roaming for 40 mins in a rickshwa.. and seeing the closed parK where the view is supposed to be the best.. i gave up.. untill the rikshwa-wall said.. "sir i will take you to a place where no-other-person goes to take the photo."He took really narrow (and scary) lanes and took me to a really shabby and scary 4 story building (which he told was constructed as a replacement house for slums!).. i went on the 4 the floor.. got the view but had only my 6 inch wire-pod and a broken parapet to keep the camera for long-exposure.. PROBLEM ....So i requested one old lady over there to lend me a wooden plank, she was sitting on.. and she did... I rested it on the broken parapet.. somehow stabilized the camera on it but kept the strap around my neck. (just in case the wind was too strong). Then in the most awkward (and amusing for the kids around)... got this 8 second shot... bulls-eye...Cannot thank more than ever to my rickshwa-walla :)This was two weeks back.. and after the blasts 2 days back.. i am compelled to pull the shot and post it :(..Kudos to the people of Mumbai again! |
