    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.

    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.

    Travel Photography | Rare View of Taj Mahal | Seven Wonders of The World

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Taj Mahal | Rare View of Taj Mahal and its Surroundings This is Taj Ganj area, where most backpackers stay because within a walking distance you can easily get to the Taj Mahal. I took this picture using UWA Ultra Wide Angle Lens 10-20mm from the roof top of Sai Palace Hotel where we stay. Taj Mahal may look a distance away from this picture but the truth is, it’s just less than five minute walking distance from our hotel to the South Gate of Taj Mahal to the left side of this picture where you can see the buffalos  down there. There are many…

    Travel Photography | Agra | Children of Heaven

    Taj Ganj area is full of photo opportunity, especially if you like capturing human interest other than Taj Mahal, I took this picture just outside my hotel, Saii Palace Hotel. This children are on their way to the nearby mosque, if you can see that little girl holding the “Qur’an” wrapped with the yellow clothes.

This is not the main street in Taj Ganj area, the main street is on…
