hallucinating, am i?

   hmm... long exposure photography... i think the clarity of the picture is quite amazing considering the fact that this picture was taken at around 8:30 in the night. The shutter speed was brought down to 25 seconds. it was funny because i would click and stand idle for the next half minute. the people walkin by would look at me like i was a terrorist or something. 

   The thing i like about this snap is the road. on the left, the road looks normal. But, on the right the road is brilliant and has a ghost kinda look. that is all this picture managed to speak to me. :)

Cheers!

it came and it went...

    Well.. well.. well... looks like Bangalore was really cross today! Man! never seen such angry weather in Bangalore before! But, at the same time it was one amazing feast for the eyes! the rush of blood into your ears when you stand all alone on the terrace of your house waiting for the lightning to flash! and then to click it just at the right moment to capture the Electric Ladder! One of a kind experience!
   What was amusing was that while i was waiting with my camera pointed in one direction, another (and better) lightning would show up just behind me! i would turn that way and again! There would be another strike coming from some other direction! Guess that's what patience is all about! finally i managed to capture this brilliant sequence where the whole sky turned from pitch dark to sunlight bright! take a look at it yourself!

ps- i am sorry the quality is not all that great. But, this is the best i and my Nikon could capture!
