Our Saga Golden Triangle Tour of a lifetime to\u00a0the Taj Mahal did not turn out the way we’d planned.<\/p>\n

Instead of\u00a0warm winter sunshine we faced cold weather, experienced dust and\u00a0pollution,\u00a0endured\u00a0a number of all day excursions that started before dawn and are still suffering illnesses that have lasted over a month.<\/p>\n

A holiday to remember alright, but not one I’d rush to experience again.<\/p>\n

However, despite all the bad parts of the holiday (or should I say Endurance Test) we did get to see some amazing sights. And take some amazing photos.<\/p>\n

Which leads me to a chat I had with my friend Graham. I was telling him that we’d taken some lovely photos that make it look like we’re having the time of our lives. You just can’t hear the hacking coughs or see the shivering. And that’s without resorting to retouching or photoshop.<\/p>\n

So the idea that the camera never lies is definitely a myth!<\/p>\n

Visiting the Taj Mahal – photo by Juliamaud<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Taj Mahal<\/h3>\n

It was designated as a\u00a0UNESCO\u00a0World Heritage Site<\/a>\u00a0in 1983 for being “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage”.<\/p>\n

‘The camera cannot lie’<\/h3>\n

This phrase dates back to the mid 19th century and refers to the fact that a photograph\u00a0faithfully represented a\u00a0scene more than a\u00a0subjective painting could. However, even early photographer found they could manipulative images during the developing process.<\/p>\n

Also , a\u00a0Victorian photograph may appear\u00a0to be of a woman in black, but may actually be\u00a0a portrait of a woman in pink, or yellow, or red. With that knowledge, the history a photo records takes on a different hue.<\/p>\n

Gaby Wood<\/a> suggested in The Telegraph that “recording a slanted version of reality isn\u2019t the same as lying. It\u2019s just another way to tell a story…….The great achievement of photography is neither truth nor fiction; it\u2019s not even art or commerce. It\u2019s magic. For 175 years we have known how to trap light and freeze time.”<\/p>\n
