Hi-Tech City

Posted by Sugata (Newark, United States) on 13 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.

A fireworks display above Hyderabad, India. The building seen below is Cyber Towers which is a big office building for IT companies. The photo was taken from the roof of my apartment.

The celebrations were probably for a wedding. I had to take many long exposure shots before I got this one. Two or three of those things burst at almost the same place one after the other (you can see them separately if you see closely). Although the EXIF shows a 30 second exposure, the fireworks happened about 10 seconds into the shot and I covered the lens with my hand after that to prevent overexposure.

Thanks a lot to everyone who commented on my photos, or even stopped by for a visit. The comments have been pouring in pretty fast (there are over 1500 already!) and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to reply to each individually. I'd rather spend that time in viewing others' photos and commenting there. But I do read each comment individually, and if you ask me something specific, I'll answer that.

I am new to the photoblogging world. Still, I thought I would enter for the 2009 Photoblog Awards. Please vote for me if you think I deserve a vote and registering isn't too much of a trouble.
