Artwork of the Day, Salt Cave

 This dramatic photograph captures the haunting beauty of the world's largest salt mine, located in Khewra, Pakistan. The mine's history dates back to the troops of Alexander the Great, who are said to have discovered it over 2,000 years ago. The image shows a vast underground chamber, illuminated by an otherworldly light that seems to emanate from the walls themselves. The smoothed edges of the salt formations create a stark contrast against the deep shadows, and the overall effect is both eerie and mesmerizing. In the distance, you can see the faint outlines of other caverns, hinting at the vastness of this underground world. This photograph is a stunning reminder of the incredible natural wonders that can be found in even the most unexpected of places.

f a cave can be hung in a variety of places depending on the style and theme of the space, as well as the size and type of the photo. Here are some ideas:

1. Living room: A large, high-quality photo of a cave could make a stunning focal point for a living room. It could be hung above a couch or fireplace, or on a large empty wall.
2. Bedroom: A smaller, more intimate photo of a cave could be hung in a bedroom. It could be part of a gallery wall or hung on its own above a bed or dresser.
3. Office: A photo of a cave could add a sense of depth and wonder to an office space. It could be hung behind a desk or on a wall with other nature-themed artwork.
4. Restaurant or hotel: A photo of a cave could be a great addition to a restaurant or hotel with a natural or adventurous theme. It could be hung in a lobby or dining area to create a sense of ambiance.
5. Gallery: If the photo is particularly artistic or unique, it could be hung in a gallery or exhibition space to showcase the beauty of the cave.

Ultimately, the choice of where to hang a photo of a cave will depend on personal preference, the style of the space, and the size and type of the photo.

Kitty lens is not that kitty !!

I use Canon EOS 400D with EF-S 18-55 f3.5-5.6 supplied kit lens. Lovely colors of flowers always attract me and i decided to shoot closeup of the sunflower with this lens. At 55mm and aperture set to f/8 while iso set to 200. I kept moving closer and closer to the flower and kept focusing and discover how close this kit lens can actually focus !(0.92 ft)  image came our pretty good with lots of colors and detail. Click the image to purchase the print. It came out too good i decided to put into my fine art gallery.

I have been very satisfied with this lens and have used it to make a lot photos. It is not much good at focusing and very cheaply built but, it will keep happy a lot budget shooters if they use it carefully. This was not planned test shot just one from random daily shots so i decided to post.
