traveller's light i Finding Polaris

Though last time I was there a police officer mentioned about issuing

a 'ticket' to me for being at the Garden Of The Gods after closing

time, I was all hyped about this shot and idea. When I reached by

Siamese Twins formation, I located the Polaris, North Star (point of

rotation in this picture)....I was even more exc...ited. The funny

part of start trail photography is that you can spend couple of hours

by your camera and you come back with one or two photographs. Like

this picture took two and half hours. After the exposure began my mind

was still going....India, life, photography, love, etc etc but as time

goes on, you realize you are not leaving soon. You have couple of

hours to think.... and calm down. As the exposure was finishing, it

was all calm, calm around me and inside me... all I could see was

glimmering city lights far away... hope you enjoy this picture....

Genial. Max.

beautiful work. clear crisp lines with good light enhancement

How long does it take a moment ... ?

Some people believe that photography is just capturing an instant, a moment. But there are photographs like yours that revert that paradigm.

Uniqueness in photography is amazingly well performed in your work.

Congratulations !

Patience pays! You got your reward Rajeev. Satisfaction.

 

Remarkable shot, Full Marks

Very good work!

I enjoy your photo and your story. Congrats on this fantastic shot.

Thank you everyone... it is awesome to see some of you did like this picture rather than anonymously rating it 3/3 .. :-)

Certainly did, very beautiful shot!

Eye-catching shot, wonderful description.... but the Garden of the Gods has a "closing time" and you can get a "ticket" for being there after "closing time?" Good grief, what is happening to us?

Thank you the comments... yes there is a closing time and you can get a ticket for being there and especially neighbors complaint.... :-) But I am so glad the place exist.... helps me get out and explore nature a bit. And helps to keep my growing belly down a bit... thanks again for your time... :-)

Star trails! Love it, great job.

Thank you very much.... :-)

Beautiful Rajeev! The star trails are wonderful, as well as the rock formations. Well worth the wait.

It was a great night... waiting there really helped me to put somethings in perspective that was going on in my life.... thanks again...... Rajeev.

Magnificent. Worth going to the slammer for a few days! Thanks for the rickshaw explination.

Very interesting picture! ..........Regards Kawan

 

Very good! Best regards!

Beautiful, pholosophical work. I love the stars trail, the rocks almost abstract

and the story behind.

Excellent Work! Bravo 7/7
