Couldn’t manage anything better. I was trying to use the tripod but was not getting much success as I was not getting a proper angle. And the crowd that gathered around me was also not helping. Asked one man, “Are you a professional?” No, I replied without looking at him (no, I was not being rude, I didn’t want to attract any unwanted attention).
Another guy offered, go upstairs from my shop the photos come out very well. I have to admit I looked up once and he sensed my interest. But then I declined as it was dark and I was not venturing into anything with strangers.
Amidst all this chaos I managed to click a few pictures of the Hawa Mahal too.
Agree with you…Hawa Mahal is such a beautiful structure, but extremely difficult to get a good shot. The narrow road, traffic, packed shops and over curious people add to the woes.
Beautiful!
Just few weeks back, I too had an opportunity to view this delightful sight in the night. If only the streets were not so crowded….
Your fear is visible in your picture…you should have better be a bit more creative on this
beautiful pic! and i can imagine how tough it is to take a pic like this in a crowded area. being a guy, i find it tough when people gather around and start asking questions!
Beautiful!! as you say, it could have been better, but you were right in refusing to go to the shop…. with things the way they are, it is certainly better to be careful!
Ah. The Pink City. I so wanted to see it but they did not give me the visa for Jaipur. Damn.
Gorgeous! I cant wait to visit it in July 2011…..in fact I am excited to visit India next year…..
Ohh my!! it is so lovely with the lights 🙂 I love it.. Hope to visit there some day
