INDIA

“India is an assault on the senses, a land of endless contrasts and contradictions, where beauty and chaos, tradition and modernity, coexist in a breathtaking dance.” - William Dalrymple

TAJ MAHAL - AGRA - INDIA

Get in super early if you want an image without people everywhere. And race down to the centre to capture this image.

GEAR: Olympus OMD EM1 MkII, Olympus 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO lens.

SETTINGS: 14mm - F/4 - ISO 200 - 1/13 Sec Get down low to capture the reflections on the water. To allow for a slower shutter speed I sat the camera on my bag.

WOMAN AND CHILD

Plenty of great street photography opportunities in India.

GEAR: Olympus OMD EM1 MkII, Olympus 40 - 150mm f/2.8 PRO lens.

SETTINGS: 150mm - F/3.5 - ISO 400 - 1/125 Sec Could have used a much higher shutter speed on this shot. But it seems to be rather sharp. The long lens and focal length of 150mm allowed for great compression and bokeh.
