Taj Mahal Close

Scan000109The Taj Mahal is often seen just in the classic full view, but there’s quite a lot to look at when you get closer in.   MF3D is really the only medium that can convey the richness of all the marble inlays and carving.

This was photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop.  I believe it was 1/250 @f16.  No tripods are allowed at the Taj unless major fees are paid, so this was shot with the camera hanging around my neck using a Hasselblad waist level finder and a cable release.   October 2010.

The TL-120 attracted a lot of attention in India, at times I was mobbed with people wondering what it was.
