India – a few more photos
Trip to India – South Bombay
Today I visited the markets in South Bombay, including Chor Bazaar; one of the largest flea markets in India. It was probably my favourite day of photographing so far as there were so many different things going on around me, and I didn’t have to photograph it from the inside of a fast moving car!
Most of my photos seem to focus on the locals going about their daily business. I didn’t realise my love of photographing people in such a way until I visited India, as my normal work is studio or sport related. There was also time for a quick visit to Dhobi Ghat; India’s biggest human laundry, washing thousands of clothes daily!

Trip to India – Elephanta Island
Today I went sight seeing in South Bombay; catching the boat across to Elephanta Island. I caught the little rickety train round to the entrance, and began my ascent up the many many steps to the top, where the view was stunning. The Caves were impressive and the locals charged us double when purchasing drinks! There were hundreds of monkeys and dogs roaming around, and people asking for money when I took their photo. But overall it was a great day!

Trip to India – Thursday 8th November 2012
More driving photos from my trip to India.
I stayed with 2 amazing host families during my 3 week stay in India, and they took us out and showed us all the sights.
Today I visited Marine Drive, which is also known as “The Queens necklace”. It was so pretty all lit up at night, and was gutted I didn’t have a tripod with me. I had to make-do with a wonky sloping wall to rest the camera on whilst I did some long exposures, and they didn’t turn out too bad. Again the majority of the night time photos are taken using ISO 6400.

Trip to India – Wednesday 7th November 2012
The daylight photos are from the car journey to Whistling Woods International Film School in the morning, and the night photos are from the journey home, where an ISO of 6400 was used. It was good to see how my camera performed in such conditions, and I’m fairly pleased with the results.
Day 2 photos are below…
Street life after dark…
Some people were happy to pose when they saw the camera…
That is all for day 2, thoughts comments and feedback welcome and appreciated as always. x
Trip to India – Tuesday 6th November 2012
I have just returned home from a visit to Whistling Woods International Film School in Mumbai.
The photos below were taken during the car journey to Whistling Woods/Film City for the first day of lessons.
I didn’t end up taking that many photos, or should I say not that many turned out well enough as I was photographing from an erratically but expertly driven car at high speed, with the subject also moving, and to make things slightly more challenging the windows were tinted too; all the while trying to hold steady a large and heavy lens!!
I instantly became hooked though at all the sights and goings on around me, and driving around Mumbai became my favourite part of the 3 week trip! I can’t remember a car journey where I didn’t have my camera out, and I got much better at taking photos in such conditions!
Photos from day 1 are below…
“People” and “Documentary” quickly became my preferred style of photography whilst in Mumbai
