Driving through Chennai

-GT- · 12th August 2008, 22:20

Superb Photolog. Being from Chennai, I haven't seen that many roads and places without the usual traffic. I could and did recognize a lot of places in the pictures and I should admit that I don't recognize an equal number of pics.

In my opinion, the loss of hoardings, in most places are for good; however I have also noticed that some junctions have become quite dark without the lights from the hoardings. (We, as an Owners' association, have lost a major revenue coming out of an advertisement hoarding that was installed on the roof of our building).

Nice pics as always nick. You forgot to give credit to the driver.

Chennai does look good

neoranjit · 4th September 2008, 20:15

Nick, Pics are not as clear as they used to be. I dont think its the camera. Probably inconsistent driving causing the camera to shake. who was driving ?

Nice one, ranjit.
And apart from the driver, I think there is the car factor also.
@nick, was it a Hyundai you were being driven around in, by any chance ?

The car is an Accent CRDi and the driver was headers. This is all i am going to say.We shall discuss these photographs in detail tomorrow, i hope.

Wonder if any of the TBHP-ians were caught by nick - anyone???

nickatnite · 5th September 2008, 19:20

I happened to be in the 'mood' to take pics while driving today. It is a very dangerous sport and i do not recommend it to anyone. Hope you like this set of pics.l I had to upload them in another site and then do the same here due to size issues. A lot of hard work goes into this.

nick, for size issues, you could download IrfanView (freeware) and it will batch-optimise your snaps in a jiffy. Set the resolution to 50-60% and the file size would be reduced by 1/3rd or more. Not that hard work.
Ofcourse, do agree that taking snaps from a car (especially when one is driving) is tough. Atleast I find it tough.
