Amazing. One can only imagine what goes on in the streets of such a densely populated place. Great colors. Posted: 06/18/2026 14:28:19
Great perspective. The composition has almost an illustration quality rather than photographic. At first it looks just all blue then you realize there are all sorts of colors. Posted: 06/18/2026 15:48:05
I dont own either of these... Don't think drones are allowed there .

Looks like I put the equipment info in the wrong place. Belongs with David Somali Chow's image. Sorry. Posted: 06/18/2026 18:21:19
Wow! This is amazing! I love it. The colors are gorgeous and it makes you want to look and look at these houses. It also makes me want to go there! After all, I've been to India three times so I think this should be my fourth, right? Posted: 06/18/2026 16:55:18
I think the image of Ghum in India is quite interesting. The level of detail is very good. I am not very familiar with types of drones but I would assume a Hasselblad would take excellent photos. Good job! Posted: 06/18/2026 18:24:25
This is not a drone image. Drones are not allowed there . I don't own a drone too. I dont own a Hasselblad too?

Telephoto effect, like painting, colorful, stunning perspective impact Posted: 06/20/2026 20:36:47
I am still trying to determine how you achieved this effect. Why are some buildings in brightness and others not. I would light to see more detail about fewer buildings so I could find a place to give my eyes a rest. Posted: 06/21/2026 13:15:59
The vibrant colors of the buildings are striking. This place looks like a fascinating destination for street photography. Posted: 06/22/2026 13:16:05
