It is indeed a wonderful website - thanks Bob.

Inspirational

Think I need a camera upgrade before I can aspire to capture the vivid colours that are apparent in your work though.

Just got round to having a look. Some truly superb shots.

Do you sell many of them, Bob?

[Bobcock]

None........

Right, I promised you a trip into the kitchens of the Langar Hall

They cook 50,000 meals a day, usually a vegetable curry, dahl, rice or chappatis.

They have some huge cooking pots.

Again, everyone here is a volunteer.

This guy is responsible for keeping the huge fires under some of the big cooking pots going......

He's also responsible for not wearing any underpants. I love that guy.

I like the feeling of motion in the first shot, but the detail from the flash in the second is also good. Are the people in the second picture causing the shot to look a little cluttered? For me, a merge of the two (the motion of the first and the detail of the second) would have been top notch.
What did the pros say?


Edit. Forgot to say thanks for taking the time to upload the shots.

Inside of the dome at the top of the akal Takht....beautiful painted ceiling.

[Bobcock]

I got to go up the water tower over the road from the temple complex, friends in high places open doors.... actually it was a horrible climb, barefoot in darkness up concrete water tower with low handrails.



Tha Akal Takht from the water tower



The High Priest of the Akal Takht's apartment is the first and second floor area right ubove the temple dome in this pic. It has a recess.

[Bobcock]

Taken from the entrance to the High Priests apartment. You can see the water tower in the background. The black dot at the top is the exit from the stairwell....

These are the last 4 pics of Amritsar.....

[Bobcock]

Final stop was varanasi (Benares). Great thing about this place is that Thai have a direct flight from there into Bangkok, good timing too, leaves mid afternoon.

First night of arrival, the main ghat....

[terry57]

Mad place Varanasi Bob. Great pics.
