He built towers to reach the revelatory sunbursts of his imagination...The Jantar Mantar observatory at Jaipur, India.
A short series of shots (4 or 5) that will attempt to describe the inspiration I felt while at the observatory.
I always get extremely inspired when I'm surrounded by the work of people that pushes the boundaries, bringing in great knowledge and imagination. This was one of those places.
Finished in 1728, and built by Maharajah Sawai Jai Singh II, it is the perfect demonstration of both of those attributes.

Tempting to try cropping that wall corner on the left, its really strong looking, but as it is it seems rather neither in nor out. Also give the insane resolution at your disposal I'd be tempted to try an extreme crop down to just the two sets of stairs, the birds are a nice touch so I'd try and make them more obvious.
Yeah, I see what you mean about the left side. I'll take a look at it in a bit.
That film was my fav when I shot 35mm! I bet most people don't know anything about it, but I loved it!
Anyway, lovely shot!
Even now, I do some of my b&w conversions using Alien Skin Exposure 2 plug-in for Photoshop. One of the "films" is HP5, so I kinda still use it! Not really, I know, but some of the best qualities of that film can be applied to my digital pics.
Anyway, I look forward to more of your work!
