First Look - Taj Mahal


Just a quick post.  This is the first full picture I took of the Taj Mahal and I'm pretty happy with it.  The problem you have with photographing any famous landmark (and I'm pretty sure this must be India's most famous) is how do you take an original shot that hasn't been taken before?  Looking through google's images I didn't see any similar photos but on Flickr you can see a lot of people had the same or similar shots.  Oh well, at least this one is mine.

Gorgeous shot, Pare!

Your post made me think of an award-winning photo I saw of the Eiffel Tower. The photographer (an amateur, I think) wanted a unique shot and got it by framing part of le Tour Eiffel within the window of the train she was riding, with a passenger reading a book in the foreground. Beautiful.

Too bad I can't remember where I saw the photo or I would have included the link here.
