Compare It !!!

These two photos were shot on diwali - the festival of lights. I'm posting these two photos together to show the effect of the flash when used randomly or without giving a thought to it. The second photo shows the effect of the longer exposure & a dramatic change of mood of the photo. The technical details are given along with the photos. I hope you will like these photographs & will comment on your preferences.
