Now in Mumbai

few months back I was trying my hand at long exposure photography using my Nikon D60. One of my such favorites shots have been street photos at night. So I set up my instrument in balcony and tried lot of combination in manual mode. Here is one of the best shot from that evening after almost 20-25 trials.

For those who are interested in technical details, this image is captured at ISO-100, F/32 aperture size and 25 sec exposure. I had read that smaller aperture helps creating ray effect from a light source. I could get that from the halogen light above hoarding. Though I am not very happy with the overall frame but a balcony on the fifth floor does not allow much freedom to decide your frame. Specially the black hoarding on my side of road taking away the effect of traffic flow.

All in all I am happy with the result considering my first attempt. But your opinion may differ. How do you feel about it?
