Today's post has 18 photos plus a thumbnail made in Photoshop. All photos were clicked in December 2024. This location is Jaisalmer which is located in the state of Rajasthan in the north of India. Jaisalmer also has the title of Golden City. This title is given to this city because the sand here is golden and wherever you look, you can see golden views all around.
I was here for about 10 days and in these 10 days I enjoyed the sunset from here. Keeping the title of the city aside, this city really looks like a golden city at sunset. If you look around from the fort of Jaisalmer or climb on the roof of any hotel, you will see a golden view which will stay in your eyes.
I have come here to volunteer in a road running event, in the event the runners have to run 100 miles in 32 hours. The race will start at 12 noon when the sun will be above the head of all the runners. It is hot during the day and the temperature goes below zero at night, so the temperature here will play a dangerous role for all the runners. To avoid getting drained, the runners will have to stay hydrated and keep checking the salt in the body.
The photos have been clicked from Hanumangarh Hotel in Jaisalmer. Actually, I wanted to buy a tele lens for my Sony a7iii before this trip but could not buy it because I did not have the budget. I have a Canon 77d which I bought in 2018 and along with it there is a tele lens which I bought in 2015. The focus ring of the lens is broken but even today the result is very good.
I complete the little work by editing in Lightroom, sometimes I think that when I have money, I will buy a 600mm lens and explore astro photography, I will enter inside the moon and shoot photos. And yes, photography in the event will also become easy with this lens. The only disadvantage is that its aperture is 6.4, due to which photoshoot will not be possible in low light.
Well, we will see what I buy and when I use it. That's all for today, rest in the next post. Till then take care of yourself and keep smiling. By the way, in yesterday's India vs Australia cricket match, India defeated Australia and made it to the finals.
