Heritage
The magic of 10mm focal length. I was fairly close to Taj when I shot this and the distortion created by the 10mm lens makes this photo look absolutely stunning.
We were passing by Jal Mahal in Jaipur during the NRI Festival. A lot of cultural programs were happening in Jaipur during that period with a bunch of cultural artists performing around Jal Mahal. This is where we spotted this boy, dressed as Krishna, enchanting the crowds.
Notice Jal Mahal in the backdrop of the photo.
Found this magnificent bronze sculpture at the entry of Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3. It was a striking contrast considering that I had just passed by the Delhi Daredevil’s Sports Bar and a Sports Edition Merc on display just a few steps back.
Wat = Buddhist Temple
Wats are most important symbols of Thailand because majority of Thais are Buddhist and they are a sight to behold. Rich carvings, bold colors of red and gold present such a mesmerizing view that its hard to take your eyes off them.
Towards the entrance of Qutub Minar, this structure stands tall as if a reminder of an era where guards would stand here and protect the premises. As the evening turns into night, the glow of sodium lamps creates an eerie feeling as if it is a haunted house!
As the evening falls and the light of Sun goes out, the glow in the backdrop causes the shadows to form strange patterns that blur the boundaries between the Man and Mother Earth.
This one was shot just before it went dark around Qutub Minar. The sodium lamps are on, the natural light is not yet out creating an eerie feeling around the place.
These temples in Talakadu, Karnataka are a sight to behold. Intricate carvings of gods and goddesses weaving a mythical story that goes around the walls of the temple is something that you don’t find easily these days.
If you are in Bangalore, worth a visit here!
Qutub Minar is a sight to behold in the evening. The glow created by the sodium lamps creates such amazing shadows that it is a photographer’s delight to shoot in the area at that hour.
This one captures some ruins around the main tower. Guess how many people are there in this photo?
This March, we visited Talakadu, a place where there are a bunch of temples covered by sand. In the main temple, as we circled around to admire the beauty, this sculpture of two feet caught my attention.
The bokeh in the photo makes it look so beautiful and heavenly!
