Hay veces, que sencillamente miras y "ves" la foto. Eso me pasó esa tarde. La atmósfera estaba limpÃsima y el cielo lleno de nubes muy bien dibujadas. Apenas tiene retoque.
En Explorer #302 , gracias a todos!
On my recent outing in London, I got an opportunity to witness the opening of the Tower Bridge to let a ship through. I had never seen that before so was pretty excited. Took some shots without caring about the settings as the opening lasts for a minute or so. My friend duly reminded me that I could also use the video feature and record it ;o) So used the movie mode for the first time to capture the closing sequence.
My London set.

The Open Hand and Pit of Contemplation designed by Le Corbusier as the symbol of a new city and a new architecture.
A camera allows you to dream. It allows you to focus on the things you like about the time and space you inhabit. In my recent work on Chandigarh, I have sought to capture the essence of the city for future generations who will live or pass through it. When I migrated here in the late seventies, Chandigarh was a relaxed, laid back town. Time moved languidly and slowly during those days. It is now a bustling, energetic city, which has fortunately retained the charm and beauty of its early years. There are very few cities in India, which can be compared with Chandigarh, because there are very few cities, which were entirely built according to a master plan by an architect of the stature of Le Corbusier. The complex interplay of shadows and light in Le Corbusier's architecture is particularly enthralling to me as a photographer. I view a camera as a receptacle of light. But imagining a great architect conceiving and building a city as a receptacle of light is an exhilarating vision for me. Presently I am working on documenting this light as it falls on the stirring straight lines and open spaces of Chandigarh.
Chandigarh has retained the rigid design and beauty of Corbusier's art. Human habitation and nature exists in harmony in the city. In the future this city, like every other city, will change in ways we cannot fathom at the moment. In my work I have sought to follow Leo Tolstoy's dictum: "In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you". I have stopped for a moment. I have ceased my work. I am looking around. I would like to share what I see through the viewfinder of my camera. The human eye has a 50mm angle of view. But photography offers multiple angles of view stretching from ultra wide to ultra telephoto. I view these photographs as my homage to the beautiful city, which has given me shelter for over three decades.

And if you know in your mind
Your destiny
It takes a whole lot of tact
Come and seize
Nothing wrong from the right, apparently
And if your open your eyes, you finally see!

Love that song...discovered it on the TV show White Collar. I watched all the repeats (again!) of the show over the weekend mainly because I adore Matthew Bomer, the main lead. Oh he looks so handsome and dapper especially in a suit !!! <3 :o)))
