Banganga Tank and Mumbai Skyscrapers

I was in Mumbai earlier this month, and it was the first time I photographed the city’s outdoors. Few places can offer such diversity to a street/outdoor photographer as Mumbai does, thanks to it’s sheer size and contrasts.

Banganga Tank, Mumbai

Although this is not my first visit to the city, this is the first time I noticed how tall do Mumbai’s buildings seem to rise, in whatever little space available. I have seen many images of Mumbai with skyscrapers looming in the background and had assumed that they exist in the photographs by choice (of the photographer’s composition). They seemed to fit well in those compositions. During this visit to Mumbai, I realized that if your image has Mumbai’s skies, it is very unlikely that there are no skyscrapers, no matter which part of the city it is!

You can never tire of sunsets at Bagan…  Each time I am in Bagan, I keep a lookout for new places to see the sunset from. Each new place offers the same view and same sunset. And each one of them is invariably remarkable.

Angkor Wat in the Rains

Angkor Wat in the rains

We were at Angkor Wat on a cloudy afternoon. Just before we were about to complete our visit and return, it started raining. As we were in no rush, we decided to wait at a cafe in the premises of the temple. While we ordered something to eat, I saw people continuing to arrive at the temple, now with their colourful umbrellas unfolded. They made a beautiful contrast to the otherwise grey Angkor Wat on a day when they skies were grey. I got hold of an umbrella from the cafe (incidentally, this one was black!) and came out to capture the splash of colours.
