I visited Gujarat (Rann Festival) recently .Pretty awesome place specially White rann of kutch .

These are the few pictures from the trip ,which I'm posting here

Watching the Earth Rotate: White rann of Kutch



Black and White Version


This was shot 7km's from Dhordo Village .Dhordo is about 80km north of Bhuj[major town of Kutch in the state of Gujarat]. I've earlier posted single shot from the 68 shots taken in total .My plan was to shoot 2 hours of star trail,but like I said earlier our bus got stuck in sand so I had to cut short. Given a chance ,I would love to go again to complete the Star Trails

D700 + 68 Pictures stacked of 30 sec each, which is about 34minutes in total.
