Publication in Popular Photography, NY


This is one of recent Publication in Popular Photography magazine, one of the prestigious photography magazine of NY. In the month of April,2009 Mr. Miriam Leuchter,Managing Editor
mailed me and offered me a scope of publication in October,2009 issue. I was enthralled and honoured.
This photograph is one of my favourite ones and widely acclaimed all over the world (Category winner in IndiaShot, 2009,India,Category Inspiration winner in Prestigio Photo Contest,2009, Gold medal Winner in Live Section of VIPC,2009,POTM in Fotoflock in November 2010,Finalist in people & Planet-Australia in 2010,) and the photograph was exhibited in USA,Italy,Spain.
There is a story behind this shot.It was monsoon in India. That day I anticipated somehow that I might get some wonderful sky. I left my office at about 05:30 pm, called one of my office mate to carry me on his motorcycle at the place (This place I discovered few months ago before taking the shot). It is about 15 min ride and waited for another 15 min to get the best view of the place. I already observed the cyclist before he crosses the place, I knelt down to capture the full view of the cyclist. When he came at the right place I clicked almost 6-8 frames in continuous mode and among those shots I like this most.
