In the heart of Triplicane, Chennai, the streets come alive with the vibrant energy of urban life. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, a moment of stillness is captured through the lens of a long exposure photograph.
As the shutter remains open, the frenetic movement of the bustling street is transformed into a mesmerizing blur, painting a vivid tapestry of light and motion. Amidst this dynamic scene, a solitary bike stands frozen in time, its form rendered sharp and distinct against the blurred backdrop of the street.
In this experimental exploration of long exposure photography, the streets of Triplicane reveal a captivating juxtaposition of movement and stillness, chaos and calm. Each element of the scene converges to create a visual narrative that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the rhythm of urban life, frozen in a single, timeless moment.
The Lesson by Leanne Lindsay
On a family holiday to Tasmania, we decided to hike through a beautiful rainforest to a spectacular waterfall. Half of the family turned back during the walk as it was quite a hike, but my eldest grandson and I decided to push on. The rainforest we were walking through was thousands of years old but bore the scars of gold mining – old, abandoned mine shafts, leftover pieces of tram tracks, and abandoned mining equipment littered the rainforest. However, the rainforest was taking back its territory; the tram tracks were disintegrating and had moss and lichen growing over them. I used this opportunity to teach my grandson about the destructive nature of mining and how we must preserve our rainforests and native vegetation. I am also teaching him photography, so I set the camera up on a tripod, set the timer, and took this photo. It was one of those moments you want to remember.
