    Elephants at the Amber Fort

    This is another image I spent a few hours on retouching today.

    It was taken at the Amber Fort, which is in Rajastan, India not from the city of Jaipur. These elephants are used to transport tourists from the street level up to the fort up on top of a hill. While these places are called "forts" because the local Raja had troops stationed there, they were really royal palaces.

    Golden hour in these sub-tropical areas are very short, less than 30 minutes, as I recall, so we did not get to the site at great light. It was still reasonably early in the morning, so I tried to calm the light and shadows to create a better balance in the image. This is definitely a work in progress, but it's far enough along to post.

    That brings back memories. The fort is like a maze inside. All my photos of India are on an old laptop somewhere.

    It was morning, just after the fort opened so they were on their way down to pick up more visitors to carry up to the fort.

    I like the scene. I wonder how you will handle this, in my view, quite complex scene.
    Cheers Ole
