No, I did not drive – I leave that strictly to the experts. And, no, this video is not speeded up in any way. (It is, however, silent – I removed mostly me talking about unrelated topics.)
This was what the drive looked like on our way down (way, way down) to Woodstock School’s Hanson Field for an alumni cricket match.
I’ve loved photographing Jantr Mantr (in both Delhi and Jaipur) since my first sight of it in 1979.
Humayun’s tomb in Delhi. Some of the inspiration and techniques used in the Taj Mahal came from here.
Late afternoon/evening is a great time to photograph in north India; when the sun is high, instead, the light is very flat and harsh.
Morning and evening are also good for videoing birds and other wildlife.
I’ve been using the HDR function on my iPhone a lot. I try to choose which of the two resulting photos is better, but sometimes each is good in a different way, so I keep them both.
Doing some digital filing. These are some of the oldest photos I have (at least among those taken by me, rather than of me). Not great scans, but the best I have access to for the moment. You can see my early love for architectural geometries – and Jantr Mantr.
