January Theme Day: Photo of the Year: Light and Shadow

It is once again the time of the year when photo bloggers from around the world showcase their photograph of the year gone by. I chose this photograph as the photograph of the yer 2010, because this was the first time I managed to print a photograph in the dark room. This photograph is a reminder that I need to learn one new thing this year as well. This photograph is a medal of pride as I did manage to achieve the target I had set for myself last year. This photograph is special :-)

Hope 2011 is special for everyone around the world and especially my friends in the blogosphere. Happy New Year!

My first prints :-)

This is the Nai ka Makbara near Humayun's Tomb.



As most of you now know, I am taking a photography course. Here are the first two prints-- clicked, developed and printed by me :D I am very happy to share these and my excitement with you :-)

Humayun Tomb

Just minutes before the sun began to set, I reached the Humayun Tomb with a friend. The Humayun Tomb is located near the Hazrat Nizamuddin station and just opposite to the Nizamuddin Auliya in South Delhi.

The wall surrounding the many tombs is in ruins but fortunately the main tombs themselves are not in too bad a condition.

If you compare the structure from the previous post about Lodi Gardens, you will be see that the tombs are very similar.

The golden light of the setting sun made the experience of being in the Humayun Tomb surreal.
A pleasant walk of another 5 minutes took us to the main tomb through the arches, typical of Mughal architecture.I indulged in a little reflection photography.

Payed respects at the grave of Humayun.
And took a final shot of the Tomb before leaving.


and said goodbye to the place as the sun set...
