Into the Evening…

Finding peace is not an easy task, no-matter how easy it might sound to you. On such a busy day, I made it a point to take an hour out in the evening, just to be with myself. Yes, I do love to be all alone; it does feel a little too alone at times, but then again, it is something which I choose for myself, and not forced upon. Moreover, if I have my beloved camera with me, I hardly feel the need to interact, talk, chat-up with anyone else. Having some great friends around is always a plus-point, but even if I am alone with my camera, I have found peace and solace.

Photograph things, daily things, things which you see on a daily basis but perhaps never took time to really “see” and appreciate is what I like to do, apart from writing about it, ofcourse. After all, I started writing long before I even thought about how interested photography is. So, you see, writing is and shall always be something that I give just a tad preference over photography, I believe. Anyhow, not boring you guys to death anymore; sharing a few pictures from last evening. These are not really technically superior or award-winning images which are ready to go to National Geographic or anything; just a few images created after dark while taking a nice , and more importantly a quiet stroll. Just being with myself, and enjoying  the time. 🙂

 

Loneliness is perhaps a blessing, at times, and at others it is pure punishment…

…all in the eyes of the beholder

Like they say, it is all in the eyes of the ‘beholder’. I have been to the Lodhi Gardens numerous times, not only because that place is beautiful and gives you such a nice reason to relax (we all need a “reason” to do everything these days), but also because it is a photographer’s paradise. There is so much to explore and photograph, that one evening is just not enough.

I have, in all these visits, photographed the tombs many-a-times, but each time I go back there, I somehow find a new meaning to the entire location. 🙂 These images which I have shared below, are taken during the same evening, just  minutes apart, of the same tomb; just chaging the PoV makes so much of a difference.

Exif: Canon EOS 5D coupled with a Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II Lens.

Explore. Photograph. Enjoy. Have a lovely weekend, people. Cheers.
