Thank you for stopping by Big Mountain Photography!
(大山摄影 Da Shan Sheying).
We’ve included 15 images with a short narrative of each image in sharing our life experiences from South India, i.e. Chennai (Old Madras). For the first time, I strolled around the inside of Arulmigu Kapaeeswarar Temple as my previous 10+ visits where only along the outer perimeter as always the crowds were too much. I’m glad I stopped in this time.

1) Sunrise above the Temple Tank Mylapore. Add a starburst flare with the camera stopped down to f/22 plus as an added feature – red lens flare for free.
2) Inside looking out with an 8mm fisheye lens.
3) Pictures were allowed yet never for any idol in any temple .
4) I’d like to thank this gentleman for sharing the history behind the temple – very interesting. At the end, I asked if I could take his portrait, no problem.
5) Using a film VanDyke Brown look, here is the morning sunrise in Mylapore as seen in the Featured Image.
6) Had an enjoyable conversation with these two gentlemen before I asked to take their portrait.
7) Using the 8mm fisheye again, it appears these five idols are “dancing”.
8) The main entrance of the temple in Fujifilm Acros B&W. A little dodge & burn on the side to guide the fewer from the foreground to the background.
9) Elephant Fun Time – Smile
10) The 8mm fisheye lens is back.
11) The Temple Tower main entrance as seen from the outside, note recently re-painted.
12) Another temple tank sunrise.
