Shooting Lights, Prinsep Ghat, Kolkata

For me, a visit to Kolkata inevitably evokes nostalgic memories of a Calcutta gone by. The City Of Joy is the perfect studio for street photographers and aspiring ones like myself. I found myself camera in hand at Prinsep Ghat on the banks of the Hooghly river – one of the oldest recreational spots for the locals in the evenings and on weekends – with a view of the imposing Vidyasagar Setu. Boatmen silently ferried people across the river against the backdrop of the setting sun – a view that can only be described as mesmerising.
