The Passage

Mansi · Jun 22, 2005

sorry for posting so many pics in a day
but heres one more, my last i promise

.. not entirely sharp.. but i like the whole look of it in general
the ceilings were absolutely stunning.. this was one quick shot.. before i had to rush out.. i wish i had more time for it
just checked on the exif.. it was shot at 1/6.. no wonder ... argh i wish i had more time! bit soft

somewhere in the middle of Uzbekistan.

It is a tad soft, but you're right, the ceiling is gorgeous. You seem to have some absolutely breathtaking architecture over in India. Everything looks the same over here in the 'burbs. Wanna do a summer residence swap? :lol:

I agree with her. Exposure is spot on. Very Nice Mansi.

Great shot Mansi. Everything I have seen from you has been really interesting. Very well done. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Stunning is right! I wanna go there, I wanna go there!!! Do I sound like I am whining??? It truly is beautiful! : )

Mansi · Jun 22, 2005

Jon - thanks very much for your comments, all ways look forward to them.. much appreciated

Scott - easy does it

Chiller - thanks so much! now the only problem is building a portfolio, dont know with what and where to start

photogal - Thanks soooo much

no ones whining yet

hehe

just checked on the exif.. it's shot at 1/6

no wonder it aint sharp enough! now i'm whining!

Miki · Jun 22, 2005

Great shot, Mansi, as always. You definitely have a good eye.

I'm from India too, and the photographic opportunities are very inspiring - monuments, people, colors, animals, festivals - you can't help but stop and look at a scene through a lens.

Anyone notice the horrible little pipe running all over the place? That's my pet peeve with monuments in India - we just don't give a damn cause they are so ubiquitous. Graffiti, scaffolding, trash, you name it - there's always a way to ruin a perfectly good shot (not to mention the complete lack of aesthetic, safety or hygiene, respectively). And .... ok 'll stop my rant..

Great pic

, i loved the angle & light.

Very well composed, and good lighting to boot.

Strong stuff! I keep watching it more and more.
Could use some Shadow/Highlights tool in PS though.

On another note, was it safe to travel in Uzbekistan? Or is it just the western media which is scaring the people away?

JonK · Jun 22, 2005

It's all been said. You know I love it.
