Details Details
We had a whirlwind tour of Delhi yesterday and among the many sights and horn sounds there were some quiet moments to explore simple textures and details. This is a door from the grounds of some 17th century Moghul tomb. Forgive me for not knowing exactly who or when, that's not my real interest here. Normally, I shoot this kind of stuff with my fixed 50mm but I'm spending most of time with just one body out of conveinence. (I've been working with the 17 to 55 f2.8). It's more flexible for spontaneous work. Once we settle in for a few days in one place, I'll start carrying around two bodies and keep that little 50 in my pocket.
This kind of black and white shot is in the same spirit as the shots I made at Gym Jones a few weeks ago. I give them a little vignetting/black border in Photoshop afterwards without trying to be too heavy-handed with that effect. Since I shoot with that process in mind, rather than using it to rescue an otherwise unsuccessful shot, I feel justified in taking some post-production liberties. It's all about pre-visualization.
Take pictures.

Neat shots - I like the tomb door the most! Love the texture and tonality.
