Great shots Awais! Your fill flash worked really well especially in the window shot. It doesn't look like you used flash! Interesting reading Wiki about this fort. I love old ruins!!!

I like the second one the best. Among this huge place is a intimate environmental portrait, nice.

Awais Yaqub

Thanks all missed you

schmoo

Awais, great shots! The first looks like something out of a National Geographic piece, as does the portrait of the man in the second. I love the cool tone and the perspective you gave it.

Heck, they are all lovely! Great use of fill flash, as I would never have known about it had you not said.

That first shot has the look of an old print about it, great place and lovely pix

Wonderful seriesthumb

I am particularly fond of the first one because of you timing, giving consideration to where the people are. The person closest to the center separates the FG from the BG

As always, amazing pictures! As schmoo said, its like something out of National Geographic magazine! The more I view your images the more I hope to visit Pakistan some day.

Beautiful photos awais ! I read the wiki page...its so old. We dont have anything man made that old here. Its easy to find aboriginal hand tools laying on the ground but no structure.

Good shots, Awais ... I especially liked the black and white, which evokes the feeling of an old-time, vintage photo — like Schmoo said, right out of a National Geographic!

Awais,

I loved looking at the original. That building seen through the passage on the left really shows up well in the original. The detail is amazing and gets lost when you compress it to show it on the forum.

Thanks for taking and posting,

Mike

Wonderful series, Awais. I am partial to #4. The entire set would do well to illustrate an article about the place. Great stuff. Albert

Awais,

What a place! The Wiki seemed to say this dates from 1500s. Your first Picture was confusing for me to look at. Then I realized that you captured the confusion all those hanging people must have felt. Yikes! I think that places like this have strong energies that, it seems, can affect the camera.

The one of the window I really like. Also the guy in the door way. Do you have to deal with model releases?

I am a big fan of your pictures! keep it up!
