The paltry in a city turns enchanting on Kush Kush AKA @thebombaywalla’s Instagram grid. Beyond waves crashing during Marine Drive and a play of colour of a skies, he nudges us to demeanour within for stormy clicks. “I consider monsoon has a bent to make us demeanour inwards and delayed down. we find myself gravitating towards a small things, be it puddles, birds outward my window or H2O droplets,” he explains. Look out for plants after a shower, he says, indicating to how a flora around us is means to reason on to a sleet longer. “I adore puddles, and mostly combine dual if we can find them. When you’re watchful for a rickshaw, check out your shade in a puddles, that creates for a fascinating capture. Before a autorickshaw passes by and splashes we with water, of course,” he chuckles.

Sky so high
The sky is your troubadour in a monsoon, believes poet, photographer and branding veteran Anushka Gupta (@anushkagupta5), whose skyscapes are a sign to always demeanour up. “I adore a mutation that a rains bring; a skies are clearer and all turns green. That’s inspiring. The sky, especially, becomes utterly thespian around this time; one gets to declare a tangible bulk and a blast of colours, that is differently mislaid to mist and pollution,” she explains. Instead of watchful around for a ideal spot, Gupta suggests one can constraint a monsoon sky wherever they are. “Let buildings, silhouettes, or trees be partial of a frame; when we supplement another element, it’s nicer.” Also, demeanour out for a ink blue paint that a sky acquires during complicated rains; it creates for a cinematic and elegant effect. Don’t be bashful to constraint it while you’re whizzing past in a car, she says; raindrops on potion usually supplement to a monsoon feels.

Vantage point
CITY chronicler and photographer Gopal MS’ (@sloganmurugan) high ‘cloud report’ shots have for prolonged hold this writer’s fancy, mostly creation us consternation where they’re prisoner from. High-rises, a seaside, mangroves, wetlands, lakes and other open spaces make for good vantage points, he tells us. “Find out places circuitously from where we can fire a rain. For instance, we go to this place called Sagar Vihar during Thane Creek. If we take a internal train, feet over bridges offer pleasing views of a city,” he reveals, adding that a good forehead adds to a story. But before we go scouring for locations, rise a clarity of regard and keep an eye out for a weather. Seek assistance from continue news apps such as AccuWeather or windy.com. “Enable HDR on your phone camera that offers good contrasts in pictures. One can also download apps that concede we to adjust orifice if you’re penetrating to dally with a basis of photography.” What’s monsoon but food? Head to bhaji or fish markets and koliwadas to demeanour out for anniversary veggies and dusty fish, he suggests, and get enormous on a food series.
