30 Days 30 Photos: #19: At the Elephant Temple – 2

Offerings for a Brave Steed

There are two of these, one to each side of the main elephant temple.

The scene was awash in bright sunlight and I took several shots, some overrexposed to bring out the dark interior and others underexposed to show the details of the pink face of the structure. I prefer the more dramatic feeling of the lower exposure, with just the face and trunk of the elephant emerging from the shadows. My family likes the brighter version.

    Light is so tricky, isn’t it? I think I like it better with the screen tilted so it looks darker.

    Thanks for your comment, Evelyn. I agree and on looking again at this post today, I found the one I posted to be too pale, so I’ve updated the photo.
