An Evening at Rameshwaram Cafe
Wasn't expecting to shoot anything this evening — just went for the food. The lighting stopped me mid-conversation, three times over.

The first one — a Nandi idol lit for the evening, the kind of light you can't really plan for.

A few steps over, the Adiyogi bust. The string lights in the background were fighting it for attention, so I waited for a gap in the crowd to get a cleaner frame.

Last frame of the evening. I like this one because the flame does all the work — the Nandi is just a silhouette facing it, which felt more honest than trying to light both properly.
