Featured Photographer: Steve Gosling

These are four of my favourite Steve Gosling pin-hole camera photographs recently exhibited in Ilkley museum, near my house. The original images are about 1m by 1m ~ish and our very impressive. I recently read that Steve made his own pin-hole camera to take these shots. You can check out more of his pictures at Steve Gosling Photography

Taj


Taj srgb, originally uploaded by mologo.

Just got back from a trip around India's golden triangle (Dehli, Agra and Jaipur). Bloody brilliant trip. Whilst I agree that this is a typical shot. I had to take it! Believe it or not this is a very difficult shot to get. The place is just so busy. I had to go back at sunrise to take this and even then lots of people got in the way.

The Taj is a photographers dream. It is constructed in such a way as to always be in proportion. For example, carvings at the top are bigger than carvings at the bottom. Hence when you stand in front of it carvings at the top seem to be the same size as the carvings right in front of you. This makes taking pictures of it (and post processing) very easy. I would recomend a trip there, and am currently planning my next visit for a few years time.
