Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in The Chor Bazaar of Mumbai, which is known for its antiques and knick knacks from all over. People who love classic furniture or decor can be seen milling about the market hoping to strike a good deal. This shop was a dedicated shop for clocks and maritime equipment.

Time

The market opens up late and most of the action takes place only around 11 am ! I took this picture at 12 noon. The shop was flooded with natural light but there were dark corners as well. I framed my picture with the clocks which were exposed to good sunlight.

Lighting

Not really. This was a very spur of the moment picture.

Equipment

Since its a crowded market, I didn't really carry my DSLR. This was taken by my phone camera.

Inspiration

So many clocks, so many different times ! It was such a curious sight. Interestingly none of them told the correct time. The irony of it was amusing and I really wanted to capture it.

Editing

No

In my camera bag

A Canon 550D with a EF- S 10-18mm along with the kit lens.

Feedback

Street photography is all about capturing the mundane stuff around us and presenting it in an interesting perspective. So if this genre intrigues you then being observant and sensitive to scenes around you can be a big plus.
