Hyderabad from the night sky.

Posted by Shuva Brata Deb (Bangalore, India) on 9 August 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.

This is from my last weekend flight from Hyderabad to Delhi. The conical effect that you see here is because the plane was taking a sharp turn. This is the best moment to take a picture of the night sky as it gives you a lot more to cover. I wish I had higher ISO than 1600 to avoid the blur, but it is interesting with the blur too.

I have another picture taken around the same time with better details where you can see Hussian Sagar lake.

Actually the blur probably makes this a better photo. The sihouette of the wing tells you where the photographer was.

Always used to feel sad of not getting the window seat for capturing these wonderful shots. How are you able to hold on your own when flight descends in Hyd?...One of the bad landing spots as the runway is short
