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. I just could not believe my eyes that finally we are here after very long arduous journey. Back then in Malaysia my home country, Taj Mahal can be considered as far reaching out place, a dream destination for many of us, there were five of us in my group. All of us have never been here in Agra before. We choose the long road to get here, a Golden Triangle Road, usually most people will…

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 | Taj Mahal | Within The Frame
Taj Mahal has been photograph million times and I guess each possible angle has been taken already including framing like this one, I’ve always imagine this kind of frame back home in Kuala Lumpur before I went to India. I purposely wait for that person to enter the frame just to have a centre of attraction to make it more interesting, without the presence of a human, I think this picture will look a bit boring, I know that some people hate to have people in their picture, they try to eliminate them or wait until the frame is clear from unwanted people presence. This shot would not be possible…

Travel Photography | Choosing The Right Lens
Just a quick post today, I took this shot with Sigma Lens 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC Lens. I’m not using a full frame camera so I need to get this UWA or Ultra Wide Angle Lens for this type of shot. I need to get everything in the frame to show how magnificent the architecture is and how grand this area is, in fact before I start this journey to India I’ve done few “homework’s” by watching all the pictures about Taj Mahal and it’s surrounding that I can find on the internet and study what focal length is mostly used by the photographers who have been here and most…

Travel Photography | Taj Mahal Seven Wonders of The World
This is the final part of our Indian Journey, after this I will still share my India picture here but will not concentrate about itinerary but just about the place and photograph. After more than five hours journey by train from Jaipur finally we reached Agra Fort Train Station around 10:35 P.M. The station was quite big, old and classic but we were too tired to take a decent photograph here, and I didn’t take any pictures here in the Agra Fort Train Station. We want to rush out to get to our hotel even though we haven’t booked any hotel just yet. During our journey from Jaipur The Pink…
