I found this eatery when we were walking through the small lanes around Chandni Chowk last week. The place had many elements of interest for the camera – the blue background, play of light, big aluminium vessels and a burning flame. The man of the shop was very willing to be photographed and was very candid with the camera, which helped me make a natural-looking image.
A big crowd gathers every evening at Varanasi’s Dasaswamedh Ghat to witness the colourful ritual of Ganga Aarti. Soon after the Aarti ends, a handful of visitors walk down to the river to light a lamp, put it in a leaf bowl and float it down the river.
I had long been wishing to photograph the beautiful warm lights floating down the river as it gently lights up the faces of people bending into the river. In all my earlier attempts, I was either not equipped with capable photography equipment or was trying to photograph from a wrong place. Things fell in place during my last visit a few days ago. I had the right equipment, found the best locations to get the photographs from, and luckily enough there plenty of people who were releasing these lamps into the water.
I have been having some good time photographing around Jaipur for the past two days. Here, I meet another person having a good time at his hardware shop. 🙂
