'Canvas Is Artistic': Stunning Time-Lapse Video Gives A Glimpse Of Bengaluru Skies On Diwali Night

A time-lapse video, which also left Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman impressed, has left the internet in awe of Bengaluru’s night sky as the city celebrated Diwali. The creator of the video, Srihari Karanth, posted the one-minute video on X and said it had been shot for an hour between 7 pm and 8 pm. He did not, however, mention in which part of the city he had shot the video. Watch the video here: An hour of Deepawali lights over Bengaluru, painted into a minute!

Karanth, who is an aerial content creator associated with Karnataka tourism as well, said on X: “An hour of Deepawali lights over Bengaluru, painted into a minute!” Sharing the video, Nirmala Sitharaman admired the artist’s impression of Bengaluru’s night sky on Diwali and said “this has come out so well”. “This has come out so well. The canvas is artistic. Brush strokes are camera exposure. Great effort,” Sitharaman said in a post on X. This has come out so well. The canvas is artistic. Brush strokes are camera exposure.

What is this photography technique called? Can we do it on iPhone? If yes how,” said an internet user while another said: “If this isn’t art what is.” Many asked Karanth how he had created such an effect, to which he said he used long exposure with the shutter open throughout the video. He said he shot the video on his GoPro 11 using the long exposure mode. “It was shot on a GoPro 11 using the long exposure mode, which keeps the shutter open until recording is stopped. The timelapse was for an hour almost,” he told an internet user.
