As most people know I love going to Mysore! I’ve always wanted to shoot images at night ever since I got my tripod but my interest for birding always seem to get in the way of that.

Light up the Night

Last weekend I ended up in Mysore but thanks to the weather conditions I had a really hard time spotting the birds and shooting them was almost impossible. So I decided to do some landscape shots at night.

Turn, Turn, Turn

Chamundi Hills is a great spot to shoot from as it gives you a nice view of the Mysore Palace and its surroundings. Lots of people there on weekdays and weekends and you might also run into crazy drunk people doing stunts on their bikes and cars. So watch out for them if your driving up there.

Palace Lights, City Nights

Babak Tafreshi is the winner of the 2009 Lennart Nilsson scientific photography contest. NewScientist has some of his shots on display on their website. The shots are beautiful and depict the night sky in a way that most city dwellers may never have seen before.
