An Engineering Marvel - The Bandra Worli Sea Link

* Posting the pics for now, will type in the additional info later. Running late for work:)

Peek - A - Boo

No - This is not the Bandra Worli Sealink bridge.
Made this photograph when i was exploring Kolkata on my own one day. The idea was to see the Princep Memorial, but i was in for a surprise when i saw the fabulous Vidyasagar Setu (which also i wanted to see) was just in the background. This bridge is popularly known as the second Hooghly Bridge. The Vidyasagar Setu is a cable stayed bridge, with a main span of a little over 457 metres, and a deck 35 metres wide. Construction started in 1978 and the bridge was finally inaguarated on the 10th of October, 1992.
Was noticing the columns of the Princep Memorial when i noticed that i could frame the bridge in the background in two columns. The result is this pseudo silhouette shot.
With the Bandra Worli Sea Link opening up operations next week, i thought of putting up this photograph.

Mumbai Washes its clothes here!!

Dhobi Ghat, off the Mahalaxmi station is a photographers paradise. The place is bubbling with unabashed energy, specially in the morning, when the washermen are at their docks washing away the dirt from the clothes that Mumbaikars wear. These are just a few of the photographs i clicked there.

Kolkata conversations make me quite nostalgic. Having spent the maximum time away from home there, the place has a special spot in my heart. This is another one of those photographs of the monument which is synonymous with Kolkata after ofcourse, Howrah Bridge:) The entire garden surrounding Victoria Memorial gives one so many different angles and styles to shoot the monument. Luckily this particular strech of flowers was quite close to the lake wherein i could catch the reflection.

You are not alone...

Another one of those random photographs i made on the spur of the moment. Was sitting on a bike, tired after a mammoth photo session at the Dadar Flower market. Noticed the scene in front of my in the mirror of the bike, even though the reflective surface was facing me. Couldnt get the exact details in the other mirror, but got a chance to play around with the Depth of Field.

Take care
