It’s Victoria, didn’t you want to get down here… ’ Fighting the universal conspiracy, I tried opening my eyes and listening to the conductor simultaneously, yeaah multi-tasking ! ‘ Oh, yeah, thank you! Thanks !’ a formal smile, rubbed shoulders (it wasn’t crowded, I was yet sleepy) rubbing my eyes I stepped down of the tram. “ Wooo….Man! Where I am? This is not Kolakata, forget it, this is not even India !” I stepped down apparently from Kolkata Tramway at Maidan near Victoria Memorial, but it wasn’t the same. There was no maidan , no typical Kolkata traffic, no Victoria Memorial and it was something else. Fishy! No it wasn’t fishy. I looked back at Tram, it wasn’t like Tram either.

ReplyDeletePS: Clear that you have left me speechless!
@Juztamom, I feel his friend jumped and he clicked the photograph. Simple :)
ReplyDeleteI also have a similar photograph with my daughter. :)

ReplyDeleteI don't think I will be able to capture it like this. It looks like he is floating in air!!
Awesomesauce capture. Is this you in the picture or your friend? Looks like you (or whoever is in the photo) is on moon and floating around!
ReplyDeleteI have never captured anything like this either. This is one 'Special' shot!
Thanks @Juztamom :)
ReplyDeleteWell, it was relatively an easy shot, as @StirYourSouls told. The guy was jumping and I was taking multi-shots at high shutter speed (1/2000 sec) to avoid any motion blur. A good light and normal expression on face are the must needed things to make the photo realistic :)
I expressed it better when my friend learnt to click it, but then it wasn't my shot :P
Thank you @Ritu KT :)
ReplyDeleteHe was my friend, and we met for the first time on our Zanskar trip organised by Dheeraj of DevilOnWheels.com
Naah Punit I think you are just being modest!! It is a great shot!
