Unexpected Journey of India Photo Gallery by Bertha Cheuk at pbase.com

Unexpected Journey of India

During my journey of India, all the flights delayed which happened four times. We stayed in Kashmir one more day on the 1st day of Chinese New Year becasue of delayed flight. As a result, I can enjoy to view the white snow scenery on Kashmir. The day which we visited Taj Mahal was foggy. It's lucky that the weather changed good few minutes before we left the Taj Mahal.
Finally, we stayed in Kashmir 3 days, Jaipur 1 day, Agra 1 day and Delhi 2 days.
I like Kashmir as the calm of scenery, kind and nice people. This trip is an special experience to me. I want to keep my memories of India on the pictures to share with both of you. ^_^

Thanks for Dennis Wong and Meera Pankhania! :) To Dennis, It's my first time to bring my tripod beyond to me on this journey of india. Bertha

Meera Pankhania		12-Nov-2004 12:35
Excellent Photos.. I made a trip to India in Dec 2003 - Amazing place! Nice galery :)

Dennis Wong		11-Nov-2004 03:38
Bertha, May I have a question? Some of the pictures were taken with a slow shutter speed, did you bring a tripod with you in always to journeys? Thank you. Dennis

Dennis Wong		11-Nov-2004 03:28
Dear Bertha, I'm happy to have opportunity to see your pictures. I don't know how to express my appreciation on your pictures with more words. Just one word "Excellent". I'm a friend of Carmen Nig, my wife and me knew Carmen in a North Europe journey in 2000. We have much interest on travelling (joining tour). And taking picture is one of my hobbies. We also have interest to travel India in the future. I'm enjoying to look at your pictures and certainly I can learn more skill from you! Happy to knowing you and wish to see your other pictures. Yours sincerely, Dennis

Very nice portfolio. I like your vision

Thanks for Renegade visiting my gallery again! My photos were not shooting in RAW format, just only JPG format. I have gone to Yanni site. The music of "Santorini" is good. Nice to hear it!

Renegade		27-May-2004 00:06
Bertha, I first read your galleries six months ago. Your latest gallery about India, particularly those taken in Fort Amber, demonstrates skill in mastering light. I notice that you were using the Digital Rebel. Were you shooting in RAW and how much post processing you made? I feel connected to your photos! Not only because I love photography and travelling but also because of the places you travelled. And I must ask do you know a Greek mucician called Yanni? Your gallery on Greece reminded me of his signature piece "Santorini". Interesting enough, in 1997, Yanni fulfilled his dream to perform in front of the Taj despite of all the difficlulties. As part of this tour to perform in the Taj and in the Forbidden City, he composed a number of heart-felt music pieces such as "Love is All" and its prelude. If you are interested and have time, you can visit his website and listen to a audio clip of Santorini. http://www.yanni.com/media/acropolis.asp Too much on non-photo things. Keep up your great work!!! Renegade p.s. you Hong Kong photos remind me of the good old days

Thanks for your nice comment, Edwin!

Edwin ten winkel		09-May-2004 09:44
Bertha, really nice and good pics. Some of your pics -usually the ones with one or more people posing- have the atmosphere of relaxed and spontaneous holiday snapshots but of extreem good composition and technical quality. On your main gallary I was surprised by the quality of your childhood pictures. If only the scans of my childhood pics looked so good. Edwin

Thanks for Einar Johannessen & Vinay!

Einar Johannessen		03-Apr-2004 11:01
Beautiful! I have been to all of those places, but my pic's sure do not measure up to yours!

Vinay		01-Apr-2004 20:06

Thanks for sharing, great variety of scenes with both creativity and originality. Beside China, India is top on my must travel list, for its cultures, landscape, religious events, etc.....

Bertha Cheuk		05-Feb-2004 15:59
Thanks for Satish, Amanda and icbear!!! ^_^ Most of the Indian I met on this trip were nice and kind. It gave a good impression for me. I only cannot accept to eat all of meals with curry as I don't like spicy food. I also hope that I can go to India again to visit the other cities as Satish said that. ^_^

icbear		05-Feb-2004 08:30
Hi Bertha, Just finish enjoying your pictures of Inida, I didn't realise India is so beatuiful in winter! Your pictures are so great, like an oil painting and give me a very peaceful feeling.(It was totally difference from my last trip to India) I look forward to more beautiful pictures of Agra, Jaipur and Dehli. By the way, you make good use of the 300D, what kind of lens you are using?

Amanda		05-Feb-2004 06:29
Bertha, I see your pictures today. That's great! It take my memory. Hope to see all your pictures asap. Amanda

Hi Brother, Although your photo is taken under the snow, I also feel very warm in the photo! And the India is so beautiful under your camera.

Bertha Cheuk		01-Feb-2004 16:44
Thanks for Karic and Adam !!! :)

karic yeung		01-Feb-2004 15:27
從末想過印度會的冬季會如此美麗，每一張的作品都比poster還要吸引。之前對印度的印像並不太好，覺得是有點落後但有點神祕，看了這些相之後便有了改觀。你的攝影技術、構圖十分出色，很難再找到要改進的地方，似乎300D在妳手上看來發揮更勝從前，期侍更多的好作品，謝謝分亭。 KY

how ironic. with such beautiful landscapes, kashmir seems to be a peaceful place. in fact, the surrounding areas are filled with soldiers. I love your photos!

Bertha Cheuk		31-Jan-2004 16:23
Thanks, YK Fat and Dan !!! :) I ate many curry on India. Actually, every meals had curry. My choice only was chicken as I don't like to eat lamb and spicy. I also joined tour to Kashmir. We stayed in houseboat at Dal Lake. At night, we did not lock the door as the house keeper refilled wood for burning to keep our room becoming warm. Some of our tour members heard the sound of fire at night in Kashmir. It's really nervous condition for the Indian government in Kashmir. I remeber that I need to be searched my body almost 3 times for entry and leaving the Kashmisr airport. Very, very special experience to me!

Dan		31-Jan-2004 14:59
A real surprise. Not the India I expected. Very nice treat. Thanks.

YK Fat		31-Jan-2004 12:53
Hi! Ms Cheuk... Your photos are excellent! I'm so impressing in your beautiful pictures. You're one of my Favorite Artists of PBase. My wife & I did have a 7 days Indian trip early Dec'03. I joinned a group tour, which including Kasmir and the golden delta. Indian Soldiers are everywhere in Kasmir. We did feel nervous in the very beginning since we landed Kasmir airport. Yes, you absolute correct! The scenery there are great! I assume you should stay in a boat house?? Did the captain refill the logs into the organic warmer (burning the woods) overnight? After returning HK, all my clothes are with smokie smell! It is a very good experience and warmest memory!~! Lastly, have you count how many curry you had during the trip??? Again! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful and happy journeies!~! YK
