This one is at Mumbai. Its always good to set the camera at a specific f-stop and exposure, and then click multiple snaps at different exposure compensation which is quicker to change, and you get a snaps with [...]]]> http://www.footwa.com/mumbai-cityscrape-twilight/1454/feed/ 0 http://www.footwa.com/mumbai-at-night/1293/ http://www.footwa.com/mumbai-at-night/1293/#comments Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:45:51 +0000 Anurag Jain http://www.footwa.com/?p=1293 Just loved the way Mumbai looks at night. Was travelling from Bandra to CST when I asked the taxi driver to stop the vehicle at the start of the sea link so that I can capture this view of Worli. 4 second exposure at f/6.3 200mm.

The sight is almost impossible to avoid, and moments spent admiring its beauty can go endless. The details, fine work of craft does not go unnoticed and one just wonders how it was created. Its named after the Roman goddess as far as I know.

Neelam says perhaps I was a waiter in my previous life at Mondys (as its lovingly known). Waiter… emm perhaps.

It made no sense for me to be a ”kabab mein haddi”, but Neelam would not listen to my constant plea.
