Shooting my photograph in a mirror inside the Jaipur City Palace

The Jaipur City Palace showcases the history of the kingdom, the kings (in the case of Jaipur, there was a lot of interaction with the British during the British rule of India), and there are photos and paintings from that time. Next to such a painting, I tried taking a self-portrait in a mirror hung on the wall, and all I got was a general outline, with a flash framing most of the upper body and face.

A white gladuli at night

This is a white gladuli flower that was put in a vase. Whenever anybody would walk into the room, they would be hit with the smell, a pretty strong smell. A nice smell, but very strong.
This flower was another of my experiment, trying to see whether I could get a good photograph at night with just the flash providing the light. I had to delete a number of photographs before I got one that was somewhat decent looking. It is for you to judge whether this photograph is decent enough.

Brightly coloured marbles

As such, this photo does not have too many things to say about it, not a great location, not some exciting building. What it does have is a set of brightly colored semi-transparent glass marbles that shine a lot. In addition, they are stored in a crystal bowl that also can twist and turn light pretty nicely. I am still trying to get a better photo where each of these twinkles independently.

Shooting in the mirror

This is another strange photo that I was just trying out. Ignore the condition of the bathroom and the sorrounding; I just wanted to see whether the flash can be captured through a photograph. So I tried numerous times, standing far away and close to a mirror, and this photo seemed to capture the flash pretty well. In case you are still wondering, the bright spot in the photo is the flash from my camera reflected in the mirror.
