The Timeless Tomb
The Taj Mahal is an awesome place. I mentioned it last night in the live video chat (thanks to those of you that could make it — we should have a recording up soon). I spent the day taking photos of the place, and I was dog-tired when it was all done. Plus, my feet were hella dirty. You have to take off your shoes there. It turned out, actually, to keep me pretty cool. It was a very hot day; the marble was nice and cool on my feet.
I obviously used a special texture treatment on this one — if you’d like to find out more, there is indeed a “Textures Tutorial” here on the site.

Symbols of love…I’m wondering what the reaction of Shah Jahan..if he looks Taj Mahal on HDR. I’m sure he will love it.

Very nice photo, Trey. Looks like it’s taken out of the pages of an ancient book on papyrus. Wish I could attend your book signing, but I’m on the wrong side of the country. But you can’t be everywhere.

Yes sorry about that Gail – just going to do 3 cities this time. It takes a lot of effort just for that!

Great image. I just came back from India but wasn’t in Agra. Stayed at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Bombay though! Trey, I’m not on Facebook…any other way you can convey your NYC stop?

Amazing Trey! I wish I could come to your book signings too. Best of luck with the book and have fun!

Hey everyone, I recorded the Video Chat session, and have uploaded the video to Vimeo. Here is a link for you to check out if you missed it!
Unfortunately the recording also caught all the expletive spam, so you’ll have to ignore that!

I love how the texture brings a totally different feel to the image! Great work
