Boats getting ready to start their day ferrying people from one bank to the other. For those who prefer the traffic on the roads, there is the bridge. At dawn and near sunrise though, there's hardly any movement. Slowly and gradually, the Ganges will become a busy river as day breaks.
This image was taken by me while standing on the James Prinsep Ghat (bank) and overlooking the second Howrah bridge in Calcutta, India. The names Prinsep and Howrah may resonate with the older generation amongst my viewers who may have had a connection with India under the British. And oh yea, this river is a distributary of the mighty Ganges and it still is quite wide. The actual river, grows to about 2.5 km wide before it merges with another massive river before ending in the Bay of Bengal.
Photography is currently a passion for Rav, not a profession. His knowledge is completely self-taught but his experience is a result of shooting-and-learning alongside professional landscape and seascape photographers of a very accommodating photographers' group in Australia. He has been into serious photography and photo editing for about two years. He is a full time Business Intelligence Project Manager and an engineer, and thus, his approach to photography has grown from a technical angle, to an aesthetic sense of fine art.
Rav enjoys the combination of family, friends, photography and travelling. He carries his medium format Nikon D610 Digital Single Lens Reflex camera and his full camera gear with him when he travels. His photography has earned him awards in international competitions like Epson pano awards, Better Photography awards, Focus awards, etc.
