Better PhotograPhy aPril 2015Why it is my best shot
This is one of my best shots because
of how perfectly I was able to capture the
curve of the tunnel, as it winds its way
under the surface of New Delhi’s roads.
The presence of the man in the frame adds a
subdued mood to the composition.Where and when I shot this image
This image was made on the site of the
underground tunnel construction of the
New Delhi Metro in 2009.How I achieved it
I was inside the tunnel, trying out
different compositions and lenses that
would best depict the curve of the tunnel.
As I was changing my lens, I saw this
construction worker approach from the
other end. He seemed to be tired and when
he stopped to take a break, I made this
image of him.The gear I used to get the shot
I used a Nikon D200 camera with a
Nikkor AF 80–200mm f/2.8 ED lens.neeraj paul
