Long Exposure Night Shots.

Long-exposure photography or time-exposure photography involves using a long-duration shutter speed to sharply capture the stationary elements of images while blurring, smearing, or obscuring the moving elements.

 Long exposures are easiest to accomplish in low-light conditions, but can be done in brighter light using specially designed cameras.

 Long-exposure photography is often used in a night-time setting in order to produce a near daytime effect in the photo. By leaving the camera's shutter open for an extended period of time, more light is absorbed, creating a brighter product. If the camera is stationary for the entire period of time that the shutter is open, a very vibrant and clear photograph can be produced.

Creeping Night.

Mumbai is having a non existent winter but sunset is still early. There is a huge lake where we stay. In the last few years there has been lot of construction all around the lake. On our side of the lake we have simple, ordinary multistorey buildings which nobody photographs...:-)

Because we have such a fancy skyline on the other side...

I went close to sunset with a tripod n within 15 minutes it got dark as u can see below.
