Photographing The Monuments of Multan City - Lost Glory Recaptured

The idea for this photo-shoot came unexpectedly a couple of weeks ago.

I felt that the monuments of Multan City had never been captured like they deserved to be. I decided to give it a shot. The past few weeks, I experimented on the fine techniques of architecture photography and post-processing; and also briefly looked up at some famous architecture paintings for artistic concepts of lighting and shadows.

Then I headed off to the old, inner part of Multan city to capture some photos; then it was time to retouch them. Fortunately, it worked out very well and I was able to produce photographs that exceeded my expectations. I slightly wish it had been a cloudy day.. but this still works. :)

I hope you guys like them! :) Follow my Facebook page for more :)

(NOTE: All images are actual photographs; not composites. They have been post-processed but the views/details have not been altered. Images best viewed on a large neutral display - prefer your laptop to your smartphone; especially if the latter has an AMOLED display.)

These images were captured using a Pentax K50 with 18-55 mm lens.
