Photographer’s Note

I know there has been a gap in my posting. But I was busy with a few things friends and was also confused about which image to post next. I have just discovered facebook and have started blogging www.privatepartsof mylife.blogspot.com
This was the image I took in the living quarters or the Palace inside the Agra Fort

This is around the Diwan-i-Khas, looking into the mosque at the far end. I was at Agra last month during the independence day weekend. Lovely architecture there.I have a similar shot of the place, but from the other end.

Hello Aadiil, today we are neighbours. Good shot again from Agra Fort. Excellent composition and POV.

TFS and have a nice day

Hello Aadil,

Excellent perspective of this place. The lack of sunlight filtering from the outside is a different approach on this image. Good details and soft tones. Thanks Aadiil.

Hi, Aadiil,

I like your repeated theme of truncated vanishing points.

This photo features strong lines drawing us to the center right were we are treated to a spot of blue in an otherwise cream and brown field.

The repeated columns on the right, with their play of shadow and light, and the repeated doorways on left, add nice richness to the simple dominant theme.

I'm struck by the interesting pattern of light and dark on the ground on the left side, matching the pattern of doorway and wall. It almost looks like reflected light off of the light-colored walls contributes to the illumination of the stone flooring. An interesting effect!

Regards,
- William

Hi Aadiil,Quite a contrasts from the vibrancy of your previous posts,the wooden doors and slab flooring give some colour and texture , in an otherwise clinical and a little austere space.Thanks Tom.

Hello Aadiil,

An anothre supreb view with an incerdible depht of filed and a very nice harmony in the colors. This image is too very graphic and very dynamic. The peoples in the BG give an interetsing element of life and an idea of the scale of the place. an another excellent shot in your gallery.
Best regards,
Roger

ciao Aadiil,
bella la lunga prospettiva con colonne da una parte e porte dall'altra.
Mi piace la monocromia del fabbricato e la bella luce che si irradia nella foto.
Bravissimo come sempre
saluti

eversmile (6133) 2009-09-10 1:50

Hi Aadil

Most of all, I like the tender, soft hues of colors. Their delicacy is in good harmony with the shapes of the decorations on the wall. This is brilliantly framed with a strong perspective. And I like the inclusion of the door, as a starting point for the discovery... Congratulations.
Regards
Marine

Hi Aadilj.

Again, a lovely depth in your pictures. I like the details of the people in the end.

Well done!

Hello my dear Aadiil

Congratulation on your masterpiece.
Thanks for sharing and best regards,
Have a Good day !

macondo (13117) 2009-09-10 3:09

Hi Aadiil.
One of your favourite themes, this - the long corridor of arches, columns, doors, and so on! This one is marked by the presence of people at the end of the passage, a good inclusion to give a sense of proportion and a dash of colour. As always, the exposure is superb in showing the soft light and almost imperceptible shadows. I went to Agra many, many years ago to see the Taj, and remember that the day was incredibly hot and dusty; yet this scene looks cool and relaxing.
Regards,
Andrew

delpeoples (6082) 2009-09-10 3:45

Hi Aadil
This one is different for it does not have the usual warm impression, still that clear color lightens the view, different indeed but not bad either
Have a nice day JY

Morac (20447) 2009-09-10 10:40

Hi Aadiil,

Less color and light than in other photos but as always a beautiful effect of perspective and depth.

ManuMay (10836) 2009-09-10 22:24

Hello Aadiil!!

This tme soft hues and perspective are most important things, but the inclusion of people is what makes a great difference giving a sense of dimmensions and reminding the human use of the place...and your angle choose to compose it adds this very personal concept in photograpohy...so special and so good!!

Have a nice day...Aadiil !!!

Best regards

Manuel

Aadiil Jamal
I prefered to see this picture with a larger dimension but you follow your own technic. The general cloister view shows a beautiful palace. It must be a good place to lodge visits. It could be an hotel but it is not. This is a very soilid construction with high quality and people who share this place may have good human memories anyway. I hope you may show us the hidden view further to the right side. Friendly. Domingos

alvaraalto (5231) 2009-09-12 12:26

Hi Aadiil,

Another amazing picture in your endless, fascinating series of arcades.
The thumbnail suggested a much more modern architecture, but the ornament seems to be more traditional.

Hello Aadiil,

You are the king of the perspective my friend… A very beautiful photograph on this succession of doors. I like much this shifted framing compared to the pillars on the right what gives, I find, more depth. Good management of the lights which brings softness to the atmosphere. Well done Aadiil, cheer.

With all my friendships of Versailles and with soon,

daddo (11365) 2009-09-19 17:29

Salam Aadiil.Not the usually vibrant carrot halva colours but a restrained pistachio hue which is made subtle by the lovely light. Great perspective where the vanishing point vanishes out of the doorway. The inclusion of the solid door on the left adds interesting detail and also contrasts well against the walls. Regards. Klaudio.

Hello Aadiil
I have been also away for sometimes(Thailand)and came back last week in Goa.
Great perspective along the corridor and a fine exposure allowing to see the details. The people in BG gave a sense of distance. I think, IMHO, a black frame would have give more impact to the image.
