Good shots Awais. That first one makes me dizzy! I like the feeling of looking up and almost having to strain my neck

Awais,

I love the light in the first photo - very nicely done.

The framing in the third shot is way cool.

You certainly have a great deal of variety there. Always enjoy seeing your work. Very nice and interesting perspectives!

I'm going to have to +1 this, I was thinking exactly the same thing with both shots!

Very cool, the angles are really striking.

I like the third one the most- very cool.

Another bonus of DGrin. In addition to his excellent eye with Awais around we get to see things most of us would never get even a glimse of.

Thanks and keep posting.

Your first photo catching the curve up to the top of the building---nice

Awais,

I am a soft touch for large old forts, and this one is spectacular. 4 Km in diameter housed 30,000 troops - WOW!

The posted images are lovely, but I like several shots of the fort in your smugmug gallery much better



or this


and especially this one


Folks, you need to look at his gallery - your new camera is getting great stuff, Awais.


Oh - you probably want to turn off sharing as it allowed me access to these links at up to x3 large sizes, Awais.

Fort Rohtas is an official World Heritage Site, as an example of a Muslim military garrison fort built in 1541

The official link for the fort is http://www.rohtasfort.com/

Very interesting and informative post Awais. You should do a longer post and put it in the Journeys forum - this is perfect for that venue. You would have room to expand on the historical significance of this fort and this region.

Hi Pathfinder actually i posted all of these photos in the gallery some time ago when i freshly visited the fort in a thread which i think you missed.

And these are not shot with new camera but old sony h5 missed lots of wide angle photos :cry

I have big plans with new camera to visit such places in Pakistan aim is to pack whole pakistan in my Gallery will do that before i leave .......

Onwards i am putting watermarks on the photos which i don't like but these days even national television has started to steal the work available online ! who can ask them.....

Cheers
