From the archives – taken way back during Jan 2004, during my stay in Chennai. Had forgotten about this snap completely until I saw Madhuri‘s similar post. So searched in my archives and here its is :)

According to it:
Its exposed for 2 Sec.. and FNumber is 2.6
Its really tough to take such a snap with bare hands.. I know thats the the maize wala is shaken..
Superb experiment.. it wud have been really a hit snap if it were taken with the help of tri-pod

@Anonymous, @Satish, Maize vendors fry the maize and put masala before serving. They use coal based oven kind of for tht. When maize is placed on the burning coal sparks will start.
This snap I took it with a high exposure time and breeze helped me for tht nice snap :)
@Karthik, Yeah, it was taken w/o tri-pod and yeah the maize wala is a bit blurred
