Beyond the Window: Mumbai’s Pandemic Skyscapes

This lock-down, I challenged myself to capture low light skyscapes from my bedroom window. I had never tried it before, and that’s what makes it special. Needless to say, I learnt many things in this process, including, how to take steady photos when your aperture is f/10+ and your ISO is still hovering around 100. Shutter speed and white balance definitely helped me rise to the challenge of clicking these photographs, from the same spot, of the same subject, on a different day, and yet have some interesting variety.
