How come the viaduct is so brightly illuminated? Were there some floodlights on at Manas Resort or nearby areas?

Karan , there was a very very low light illuminated from somewhere , but else it was pitch dark ! Till the end we did not find where the light came from !

Good lights in the pic. Sharpness takes a beating due to aperture f1.8. Good noise control due to ISO 200. Overall good attempt to capture a difficult and tricky picture.

I guess, light on bridge is coming from a nearby Petrol Pump.

Wow, Awesome snap. Was it cloudy? If yes, then the light might be from the nearby town reflected from the clouds. Especially considering the color temperature of the light seems to match the sodium vapor lamps.

Jay - It was not at all cloudy - clear sky with starts shining!

Jatin - The light I am guessing is getting reflected off Manas resort or Igatpuri outer since that's were the sodium vapor lights were gleaming.

Dinesh - It is because of the f1.8 I actually got a shot like this. When I tried to take a shot with f3.5, the whole image was in an undertone underexposed mode. The 4 and a half minutes shutter release was another major contributing factor.
