Snapshots of life - 3




This photograph was taken at Panhala fort. We wanted to capture the ethereal blend of the ancient fort and the pure white moonlight. This picture(a personal favorite) was clicked without flash using ISO settings. It somehow reminds me of Alladin's genie. The astute jinn revealing the secrets of the universe to a curious mortal while the moon lights up their existance.
Dark Silhouettes in the beautiful, soft moonlight, the cold stone walls resonating stories of the thousands of yesterdays- of kings and wars, the sagacious speaker and the devoted listener....

Have you read the bartimaeus trilogy? This reminded me of when Katie crosses over to the dimension of the djinnis...if you haven't read it though, this is a redundant analogy...
It's a nice read, the authors pretty sarcastic and parts of the book dealing with the djinn bartimaeus are really good...

Which one of these two silhouettes is supposed to be the human? (LOL. Only joking... :)

ISO3200, the highest ISO setting available on the Sony W210 was just perfect for the occasion. A little higher exposure time would have given an added edge to the pic's perfection, but I liked the effect in this setup too.
