Lalbagh, One Morning
I go to Lalbagh early specifically for mornings like this — before it fills up, when the light is still doing something interesting through the trees. Three frames from the same walk.
This path is nothing special on paper. I just like how it disappears into the canopy.
Took a few tries to get the blossoms and the water both in frame without one washing out the other. This was the shot where it finally clicked.
Lay down on the path for this one, which got me a few strange looks from the morning walkers. Worth it — I don't usually shoot straight up like this, and I liked how the branches actually read as structure rather than just leaves.
