This Amazing City..

The city of Dreams.

Whatever said and told about this city seems to be like a drop in the ocean..

Its indeed the city of dreams..

The city of dreams because if you are talented enough and have faith in yourself, there are people who will surely recognize your talents and you'll get your shot.

Atleast once! That is for sure.

And that is Mumbai..

In this particular picture i have tried to capture one of the various emotions of the citizens of this great city,a 'Mahanagari"'as its often called in Hindi..

It shows a family spending some time at one of the most beautiful breathing places this city offers to its residents.. the Marine Drive.. 

Mumbai or Bombay as it is still sometimes lovingly called,is a city where the average man's struggle to get a better life,his efforts are really visible and evident.. 

This man's family is happy and his family's happiness is a hard earned treasure and he is shown capturing it in his mobile camera.For a moment he believes his life is indeed beautiful and he has made it so with his own efforts and hard work.

Life is NOT inherently beautiful.. Its what you DO to make it beautiful, that matters..The Efforts you are ready to put in,that matters. THAT is what makes life beautiful... :)


Well,I would really like to emphasize upon a very important aspect,which i feel is very important for learners..

The 'Camera' i feel now, has become really affordable and approachable for a common man who loves to capture the beautiful moments of his life..

So,what about the Enthusiast?? The learners,the hobbysts like me..

Who feels sometimes that if he/she doesn't have that 'DSLR' can't take good pictures! I have so often read these articles where it is again and again told that the camera DOES NOT  matter.The vision does.IT is really true.

This particular picture was taken using a compact camera,the Canon S80.

I have used this camera for a long time and believe me,people have sometimes asked me,after seeing some of my pictures,which camera do you use?? 

i say,When somebody asks you THIS question,be sure, that you have got a great picture!

I feel one should push his camera to the limits possible.To know the 'limits', to know what best your camera can do; i suggest keep visiting the "camera finder" section of www.flickr.com and check out everyday,what best pictures can be made with your own Compact camera.its really a nice way to keep inspiring yourself to make more creative pictures with whatever camera you possess..
