Forlorn Beauty

Forlorn Beauty, Victoria Memorial Kolkata by Sukalyan Chakraborty
Camera: Nikon D3000

Shutter Speed: 1/50 s

Aperture: f/11

ISO: 100

It's difficult to say when I will stop posting Victoria Memorial snaps as this grand structure surprise me every time I visit  this place. This was taken just after sunset when the sky was still red and the lights weren't switched on. I love this photograph because probably this is the first time I am not showcasing the whiteness of the structure...

Reflection

Reflection of sunset beside Ganges at Kolkata - travel photography by Sukalyan Chakraborty
Camera: KODAK C663
Exposure: 1/500 s
Aperture: f/5.1
ISO: 80
This is another sunset photography in the bank of river Ganges. Somebody left this bottle of water where we were shooting and I found the reflection of the sun in the bottle was really fascinating. Instantly I decided to click. But the place wasn't that nice, so I had to crop the left part of the snap. There is a boat in the left part what became uninteresting with the crop. I feel sad about it. Wish there wasn't any need to crop it. So I didn't post this photograph for a long time. But recently I posted it in Orkut where many of my friends liked it. So I am taking the risk to put it in my blog also...

Greetings from the God

Greetings from the God sunset afternoon at Kolkata photography by Sukalyan Chakraborty
Camera: Nokia N95
Exposure: 1/300 s
Aperture: f/2.5
ISO: 100
Yesterday was Bengali new year. While we were busy sending our wishes via SMS or social networking websites God sent us his greetings via nature. I found this dramatic sky while taking a stroll in my terrace at dusk. I did not have my camera with me and didn't want to waste my time to bring it from my room. So I decided to shoot it with my cell phone. Probably this is the first photo I am showing you all which is taken from my cell phone. So I am a little bit apprehensive....

Victoria Memorial

Victoria Memorial Kolkata travel photography by Sukalyan Chakraborty

Location: Victoria Memorial, Kolkata, India
Camera: Canon PowerShot S5 IS
Exposure: 1/125 s
Aperture: f/8
ISO: 200

The most photogenic part of Kolkata is Victoria Memorial. Though it is also very popular among the love birds for the lush greenery and total peace. For the same reason it's very popular among the photographers. As a landscape photography lover I couldn't resist myself from taking this picture in a winter evening. This picture is taken from outside the boundary wall of the north-eastern side of this grand architecture.

Sunrise from Peling

Sunrise from Peling, Sikkim - travel photography by Sukalyan Chakraborty

Location: Peling, Sikkim, India
Camera: KODAK C663
Exposure: 1/80 s
Aperture: f/8
ISO: 100

This is one of my favorite photograph of sunrise I ever took. On that day we were planning to return from Peling as early as possible as when we went to bed last day it was very cloudy. At last we decided to have a look from our hotel window before getting ready to leave. And we found no cloud at all. Immediately our plan was changed and rushed out of the hotel with all our photography gear. It was really satisfying to click such a landscape photography featuring Kanchanjungha..
