Apart from the disturbing lamp post, what I did not like much was the main subject of the picture – streaks of light. Does not the streaks seem too broad and dense to you? To me, they do. But this could have been managed with much longer exposure. In that case you would need to crop from the top to remove the lamp post from the frame. But the picture would have been better.

But I appreciate your willingness to learn by experimenting. Because I personally learn in that very way. You are the best teacher of yourself. Keep on attempting such things. You will reach perfection some day.

I would be glad if you use your skills for photography that contributes to mankind. I know this is high-sounding. But it is true for any famous photography. Tricks like this one is a quality of the camera. But does it show any quality of the photographer? Does it make a photograph that can make me ponder on? Because I want you to improve, please do not mind my words. I am merely trying to show you what I think might be good for you. Why not use such tricks of exposure for taking thoughtful photographs? The more you try, the more you will climb up the ladder of art. Apart from table top, nature and fashion photography, the only other significant type of photography is the one that questions our deeds. I tried to use the exposure trick when I was in Chennai. And I got one of my favourite images.

Rakshith: Thank you for your valuable feedback. Pretty good points you have made. A very nice and meaningful photo you shot at Chennai. Yes, we must be on the lookout for moments like those while trying to make full use of whatever little camera resource we have at our disposal.
