There are two sets of photographs here; those of the Taj Mahal and those of a Buddhist site.
The series of nine photographs of the Taj Mahal seen here were made from the same position although tight restrictions made using a tripod all the time impractical; the result is a study of a remarkable building which changes like a chameleon as the sun rises and falls.
The images may appear slightly different in regard to form as different focal lengths were used yet the changing effect of light can be seen on the building, changing our perception as the sun's shifting position and intensity emphasises different aspects of the building as a whole and alters mood.
Around midday, there is little change in the effects of light on the building; the sun almost bleaches the marble and the appearance of the Taj Mahal changes little. As the sun starts to get lower in the sky, the monument again starts to change in appearance.
This second series of photographs are again all from the same viewpoint; this time the subject was the entry to a group of stupa, Buddhist reliquaries.
It was interesting to note the different vehicular objects that appear in the foreground but it is the change in overall lighting conditions that make the images look different from each other.
