    Travel Photography | Taj Mahal | Within The Frame

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Taj Mahal | Agra India Framing is one of many technique in photography where a photographer try to draw the attention of the viewer to the main subject, which in this case the Majestic Taj Mahal. In this case I use UWA or Ultra Wide Angle Lens 10-20mm to frame this picture, without UWA lens, I don’t think I will get to frame Taj Mahal like this. It is natural for  UWA lens to have a little bit of distortion, it’s normal, so I really don’t mind so much about the distortion.

    Travel Photography | It’s a Wide World

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Travel Photography  | Wide World Choosing the right lens for the right subject can produce wonder, this is a small mosque located next to Taj Mahal to the left if you coming from this main entrance, actually not many people pray here, maybe it was pack during friday prayer but I don’t know. I took this shot with 10-20mm lens to really capture it’s beauty and grandeur. I don’t think I will manage to do justice with this picture if I don’t have UWA Ultra Wide Angle Lens, I know that different lenses produce different perspective but when you want to show your subject the…

    Travel Photography | Life is a Journey, Not Destination

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Travel Photography | Taj Mahal Agra | Life is a Journey Finally on June 15 we were standing in front of Taj Mahal, one of seven wonders of the world.
