Yes! now i can see it , it s great image , very difficult to shoot it cause of the space constraints in the light house i too have tried this long back . So i know how hard it is to get the perspective right by holding your hands parallel to ground and composing the frame . not to mention your feet usually comes into the frame too.
All in all a great work friend. |

Hey Andrew
Thats a really high praise , Please i am far from a role model, you can call me an opportunist , as I never wanna miss an opportunity for a good shot. hence I carry my camera everywhere , I have a Nikon point and shoot pocket camera which I keep in my office back pack as well. And my Iphone XR is always handy . Thats the curse of a photographer , we rarely let go of a good frame.
I agree with you about a single figure , it would have added so much more to the image story and impact. But there was none , as it was Lock Down and there were cops patrolling around the city to maintain the curfew , I had with me two passes to protect me from cops - A press card and Doctors vehicle. hence I could do this . Or else i too would have been stopped at all check posts.
As I said earlier opportunist.
Thanks for your kind words. |

Hey Ruth
Thanks a lot for the words of appreciation. I was considering removing the buildings . but then for a Mumbai resident the image will become unreal in totality , it will become like an painting . Hence i decided against it . However I have on version in monochrome which i love , i will share it here for you.
Hope you like it .
Thanks once again. |

Nice one , I would ask you to try 16:9 crop on this and see if it changes the perspective. its a nice diagonal composition |

amazing click , though i wonder why you preferred Monochrome over color.
I particularly love the balance in the frame . Superb framing , My eyes keep going from the stones in top right to water , shape of water on the beach and the structure / stone in the left . beautiful. |

Wow what a beautiful moment captured . Mating ritual of birds the male bring food to the female to get her approval .I see shake but thats expected in 1/25s shutter , I also use RX10M4 , as a default i always keep my ISO in Auto , I use the EV dial to fix my Exposure ( usually it is -0.3 or -0.7) . So even in haste when i pick up camera to shoot something . in AV mode the camera will get me a usably sharp image . it has worked with me . I have even created Memory settings . one setting i have dialled in all my regular settings for birding, One for general purpose , and one for slow shutter /long exposure . So just by turning of the Mode dial i get my desired settings . Its very useful trick. You can find video tutorials online which will help you store your desired settings into the Memory ( MR) .
I hope this helps .
The photo is great one under the conditions I must compliment your steady hand to get such sharpness with as low as 1/25s |

I try to give some background on my photos which helps people to imagine and conditions and history ( if any) attached to the subject.The empty courtyard space in front of the structure is of significance . All the people who have visited this place even once or even the people who see it everyday , ask me only one question when they see this image , and question is How did you manage to click it without even a single person in the frame. Because As i have said in the narrative is this is one of the most visited place by tourists and locals . this is like Eiffel Tower of Mumbai . everyone who visits Paris goes to Eiffel isnt it . So to get this frame without anybody in frame is the real story of this image. Trust me when i say this , this place has people round the clock . even 2am , 3am, 4am if you go you will find atleast 2-5 people, so the real signnificance of the click is "no human" Element. In Mumbai it is next to impossible to get such clicks. And anything that is Rare is valuable . So now you know why i kept the empty courtyard in front , as that is the real interesting thing . There might a million images of this structure from this angle , but not without humans / dogs .
