Sandeep Bohra Photographs

Today I am posting the aerial view of Old Mussoorie Bazaar from Chaar Dukan area of Mussoorie. Which is the highest point of Mussoorie. Mussoorie still has very large number of old buildings of colonial era and a look at the 'Queen of Hills' from the top makes me nostalgic every times.

Forest and Greenery is a subject that fills the frame with various colors in a photo. Hare are some pictures of Garhwal forest which I took during my trekking expedition.

Sometimes, having Multiple Subjects in a photo makes it come out better than  a photo with single or only a few  subject . Adding more subjects adds  so many levels of details that come along with them which creates very dramatic effect and engage the viewer. These pictures are my attempt to capture various subjects at the same time and create some photos which are different from the traditional single subject photography. 

Tall, dark and....essential for clean air. Trees are one of the most important elements of our environment. They are source of oxygen  and thus are the blessing of mother nature. Keeping the health factor aside, they are also one of the interesting subject for photography. The various types and forms of trees add a different story in the photos. Be it the main subject or part of the composition, trees gives an additional punch to every picture. Here are some pictures of trees as the main subject.

On day 14 of my project 365, I posted pictures of Doon Valley as it seems during the night. Here today, I am posting pictures of the majestic Doon Valley during the day time. The pictures were taken from Barlowganj Mussoorie and truly it is treat for the eyes.

  This is one of the four Siddh Mandir of Dehradun (Kalu Siddh, Manak Siddh and Madhu Siddh being remaining three) located only 12 kilometres away from Dehradun in main Dehradun-Haridwar Highway. The place is one of the most famous temple around Dehradun. The temple got its name after saint Laxman Siddh who underwent penance here and finally got cremated here.

Gorakhnath Temple is a sacred pilgrimage destination for Hindus. It is situated at 36 kilometres from Champawat in the Manch-Tamli area of Champawat district of Uttarakhand.In this temple, there is a Dhuni ( a denomination sacred fire which burns continuously). It is believed that this Dhuni is burning from the time of Satyug and the entire hill of Manch-Tamli is dedicated to Guru Gorakhnath Baba. From here one can see the beautiful scene of Himalayas and river Sharda.

The Sun and the Moon...one of the most poetic and sought after subject for any photographer. These two pictures depicts the the darker and brighter aspect of a complete day. Both of them are essential and in a way complements each other.

Today, I am posting pictures of Diwan-i-Am (दीवान-ए-आम), Red Fort Agra and Royal G ate of Taj Mahal. Diwan-I-Am or Hall of Public Audience was the place where the emperor addressed the general public as well as the nobility.  The four storeyed main gateway (Royal Gate) of the Taj Mahal is 100 feet high and is built in red sandstone. The Arabic calligraphy from the Holy Quran and motifs of entwined flowers, leaves and vines spiraling down its  aurniches.

Presenting today yet another piece of abstract photography. In first picture, i tried to capture the smoke coming out from a rural setup in a cold morning. While in the second pictures it was going up towards the mountain. In both the pictures, the smoke added quite a dramatic effect to the overall composition. Hope you liked this experiment.

Situated around 5 miles from Queen of Hills Mussoorie, this place is trekkers paradise. At an altitude of 2200 meters, It offere an splendid view of the Himalayas and Doon valley. The place got its name by Sir George Everest (mount Everest was named after him) who owned a house here. Remains of that house are still present there. 

The Ganga river is the holiest river of India. It is believed that all our sins are washed away by just having a dip in the holy water of Ganga river. The river originates from Gangotri and ends in Bay of Bangal. This picture was taking from Rishikesh Badrinath Highway approx 50 kilometres from Rishikesh which is home to famous white water rafting.

Today, I present you two pictures. First is of narrow road of Garhwal region of Uttarakhand and second is color of sky. Both the pictures were taken at different time frame and at different place and depicts different composition.  The only common thing is that both these pics were clicked randomly while travelling.

It is a cute and harmless creature which generally found in gardens and sun urban areas. Mainly feed on fruits and leaves. This particular little beauty caught my attention in Agra when I was having a trip to the Taj.

Taj Mahal...the architectural marvel, one of the seven wonders of the modern world, landmark of Agra was built by Mughal King Shahjahan in memory of his beloved queen Mumtaz Mahal. It is situated in Agra, Uttar Pradesh on the banks of river Yamuna and is one of the most iconic, symbolic and tourist Hotspot in India. The construction took approximately 20 years to complete and it is built by white marble with lots of engraving by gold and gem stones. The last three photos were clicked from Red Fort Agra, which offers a splendid view of river Yamuna and the Taj.

Today's subject is this cute little soft top mini car which caught my attention in the streets of Paris. Well I don't know which car is this exactly but it was quite a fun to watch and captured this Little beauty.

Street photography is a form of photography in which a photographer captures the normal happening of a street or we can say capturing general public life. Unlike the landscape or studios, here the composition is done in the streets in natural environment. However  in these photo, i did captured the streets of Europe instead of doing the routine Street photography cause sometimes an empty street could be a nice subject.

This cat's activity caught my attention while my visit to my home temple where she was jumping around and performing a mock drill to catch her prey. Her act was psudo but the stances were real. To prove my point you just need to look at this where she's ready for the catch.

It is unknown who invented it and where the first one was made. It is thought that much of its development and evolution was made in the Black Forest area in southwestern Germany, the region where the cuckoo clock was popularized.  The cuckoo clock is a typically pendulum-regulated clock that strikes the hours with a sound like a common cuckoo's call and has an automated cuckoo bird that moves with each note.  Today , the cuckoo clock is one of the favourite souvenirs of travelers in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. It has become a cultural icon of Germany

H!!!  This time i tried to learn the focus points of my camera with the help of my Acoustic Guitar. Focus Points or focal points are those Points in which the image is crisp and sharpest. In order to achieve a striking photo, every photographer needs to adjust the focus points of his camera/lens in the most important part of the subject.  In these pics I tried to shift the focus points in different areas for a clearer understanding of focus points. Take a look and post your comments.
