The Story Behind the Photos

Image
THE ROLLER Abhishek Benny Photography     This is one of the most difficult photo which I took,It is also one of my favorites because it was my first ever roller shot.A roller shot of a car is to take a photo of a moving vehicle from another moving vehicle with very low shutter speed to get the motion blur.To get this shot I had to lie down in the boot of a swift dzire to get this angle while both the vehicles were moving at 40kmph. This shot required a lot of coordination and teamwork.I needed two drivers and one more person with me in the boot to hold the boot lid open.It took a lot trials to get the perfect shot.But still it was worth the effort. THE RING Abhishek Benny Photography    This picture has confused many people because of the red and white light trails.Its actually a scooter after putting the camera on timer I rode it around the car, since the shutter speed of of 25 seconds a light trail of the headlight and tail light of the scooter was formed t

Abhishek Benny Photography  W hen you ask someone which is the fastest animal in the world most of them will agree with cheetah,but its the fastest "land animal".That title goes to Peregrine falcon  with a diving speed of 389 km/h, which easily beats the Cheetah.Back in the 90's when the engineers in Suzuki was building the fastest bike at that that time they didn't have to think twice about the name.They named their bike Hayabusa which is Japanese for  Peregrine Falcon.

The Long way

Image
Abhishek Benny Photography W hen it was time for me to go back to Punjab after the summer,without thinking twice I opted for train instead of flight,sure traveling via flight is faster and the ticket prices are getting cheaper day by day.My brain was telling me to take the flight and my heart was longing for a long train journey. So why all the effort?,You don't have sit all day strapped in and the air hostess breathing down your neck throughout the whole journey if you do something weird or different.So literally if you are in train you can travel like a king no one to control you unnecessarily No check in and security procedures,we can walk around the compartments,eat whatever we want.A whole lot of freedom  Abhishek Benny Photography      It took nearly 3 days to reach Punjab but the journey was worth it.I booked the ticket alone and I wasn't expecting anyone that I know on the train.To my surprise there were lot of familiar faces on my compartment almo
