to study the structure for days before the actual shoot can begin.<br />
Time of day is critical as with the size of structure, sunlight can<br />
be more of a trouble than help for many. Another challenge that a<br />
photographer has to face is to get the proportion right. Given the<br />
huge size <strong>and</strong> many monuments have almost no room around<br />
them, it becomes difficult to shoot them. But this is not the<br />
biggest problem.<br />
A bigger problem that almost every amateur faces is that all the<br />
pictures of any monument look exactly the same. How many<br />
times have you seen the picture of Delhi’s Humayun’s Tomb with<br />
4 palm trees. Most of us don’t even know that Humayun’s Tomb<br />
Complex is actually a combination of 4 independent complexes<br />
<strong>and</strong> Humayun’s Tomb is just one of those. In the enclosure of<br />
Humayun’s Tomb, you have 1 grey stone grave platform, few<br />
rubble platforms, Tomb of Barber, several wells, the oldest water<br />
harvesting pit, two pavilions <strong>and</strong> two huge gates <strong>and</strong> an enclosure,<br />
which is now used by the horticulture department.<br />
So how to click the most unique picture of a monument?<br />
Just one thumb rule: Do not carry your camera during your first<br />
visit to any monument (unless you are sure that you will not<br />
come back soon). Then take a round along with the outer wall.<br />
Most interesting scenes are hidden in the least expected corners.<br />
Your camera can range from 12 megapixels to 40 megapixels,<br />
but your eyes are several hundred times more powerful. Try to<br />
capture the beauty with your eyes first. When you are deeply<br />
drenched in the beauty of the structure, you are eligible to pick<br />
the camera <strong>and</strong> I can bet, no matter how much or how less<br />
experienced you are as a photographer, your picture after this<br />
exercise will be a masterpiece.<br />
