Good day, Steemians!
@daveks is hosting a B&W Photo Contest
sponsored by model Steemian @papa-pepper.
I love photography, so thank you @daveks & @papa-pepper
for a fun game to play!
Thanks to @bodhisattva for judging this week.
This week's theme is architecture,
and I LOVE ARCHITECTURE,
but I especially love photography challenges
about architecture: check it out.
So here I submit a stunning building in the
city of Jaipur in Rajasthan, India:
It's called the Hawa Mahal, or alternatively the Pink Palace.
It really is made of pink sandstone,
but the detail is still exquisite in black and white.
"They" say it was made so the royal ladies could look out
at life on the street without being seen...
because they had to stay hidden away and all...
I took this on a Canon T2i when I was in India.
💛 Sara!
I visited this place in jaipur, india.... Amazing pic!

Thank you, @hms818! I loved that the land in Jaipur was dry and dusty, but the women of the city wore gorgeous bright neon fabrics. They looked so beautiful against a relatively neutral background!

Thank you, @superbuckles!
I think photography is mostly about having fun with what you're doing, but here are some easy tips:
A. Point the camera at something interesting.
B. Frame the shot well.
C. Focus focus focus!!
It really is that easy to get a good shot.
There are all kinds of ways to play with a camera, but that's a wonderful starting point. With digital cameras, you can take tons of shots of the same scene from different angles or playing with different lighting or depth of field or whatever and just delete the ones you don't like!
