How & Where It Was Captured:

I took this photo in Saddar at Karachi, Pakistan. When I was there to attend a workshop about origami, after the workshop we were wondering on the streets in search of a Dhaba to have some tea. I captured this shot with my smart phone and used following settings.

Settings:

Ø  Shutter Speed: 1/510 sec

Ø  f/2.0

Ø  3.59mm

Ø  ISO:  100

Story:

               Once the Karachi was known as the city of balconies. Whenever I visited Saddar the thing I love the most is the Colonial era buildings of the yellow Stone. Now these beautiful balconies which are our heritage are rapidly vanishing and are replaced with the ugly concrete buildings.

It was difficult to visit the old Town in weekdays, so if you are interested in balconies go there on Sunday and must try some kachories from roadside vendor.
