So These Are The Pillars Of Society?

So These Are The Pillars Of Society?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single building anywhere in the world with so many pillars or columns clustered around its main entrance.

This shot, taken in clear early-afternoon light, shows the Forest Research Institute in DehraDun, northern India. I almost lost count of the number of pillars after I worked out the best angle for this image.

By standing several metres to the side, I was able to capture the sharp shadows across the rear columns, while using the contrast of the roof and the blue sky as well.

I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F9.5, 1/500 sec, ISO 200, focal length 125mm.
