Evening @ Valmiki Beach, Chennai

Here are some of the experimental shots taken at Valmiki Beach, Chennai by Evening on a full moon day.

Low shutter speed - focused and moved the camera slowly so that allow the light to travel with you to an effect like this. Got this idea from a recent photo exhibition by Sai and friends at Chennai

Statue Of Liberty

The statue of liberty, officially titled liberty enlightening the world is a monument that was presented by the people of France to the United States of America in 1886 to celebrate its centennial of signing of the united states declaration of independence. Presented by the people of France to US to represent the friendship during the American Revolution

Maurice Koechlin—chief engineer of Gustave Eiffel's engineering company and designer of the Eiffel Tower—engineered the internal structure. (My France Trip)

Torch

The 1886 original torch is now in the monument's lobby museum.

A new torch replaced the original in 1986, which was deemed beyond repair because of the extensive 1916 modifications. The new torch has gold plating applied to the exterior of the "flame”. A team of French of craftsmen working in New York, recreated Bartholdi’s orginal design for the torch and flame from pre-1916 photographs.

Below is the interior view of the statue upwards, You will have to wait for 3 months before you can get a ticket to the crown.

The Statue of Liberty was engineered to withstand heavy winds. Winds of 50 miles per hour (80 km/h) cause the Statue to sway 3 inches (76 mm) and the torch to sway 5 inches (130 mm). You will have to climb 156 steps to reach the pedestrial.
