[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Lahore Museum is the oldest and largest museum in Pakistan. It is situated on Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam (The Mall) near Anarkali Bazaar and famous Kim's Gun. Originally, it was established in 1855 as District Museum in the historic Baradari of Wazir Khan. This Baradari was built during the reign of Mughal emperor Shahjahan. An Industrial Art Exhibition of Punjab was held in 1864 in a newly constructed building, later came to be known as Tollinton Market. After the conclusion of this exhibition, the Museum was shifted from the Baradari to Tollinton. For 30 years (1864 to 1894), the present Tollinton Market functioned as the museum. The present building was constructed as a memorial of Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria held in 1887, and financed through a special public fund raised on the occasion. The foundation stone was laid on 3 February, 1890 by Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Queen Victoria's grandson (suspected of being Jack the Ripper). On its completion in 1894, the entire Museum collection was transferred to present building with its new name as Jubilee Museum. After its complete renovation and reorganization in 1967, the Museum was renamed as Lahore Museum. Conceived in red brick and red sandstone, it displays the finest example of Gandhara sculpture, the masterpiece of Fasting Siddharta. The museum also contains some fine specimens of Mughal and Sikh door-ways and wood-works and has a big collection of paintings dating back to Indo-Pakistan, Mughal, Sikh and British times. It has also a collection of musical instruments, ancient jewellery, textile, poetry and armory.

Bonjour Raza
Une architecture très intéressante; le cadrage est correct.
Cependant le sujet ne nécessitant pas suffisamment de lumière à faussé légèrement la mesure du capteur, ce qui a donné un ciel laiteux, mais le problème a pu être résolu avec ce WS.

Hello Raza
A very interesting architecture; framing is correct. However the subject not requiring sufficient light has slightly distorted the measurement of the sensor, which gave a milky sky, but the problem could be solved with this WS.

Hi Raza,

I agree with Didi and I think that he did a good workshop. I think that colors could also have been realigned has their are distortions. Other than those minor items, you did a great picture and your comment is very useful.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Raza
I was immediately drawn to this picture as the building looks very similar to the University of Dhaka in Bangladesh. The architecture, colour and design look similar. I like your treatment here. The conditions are a little bright but the scene works well.
Cheers
Aubrey

interesting. Good job.

Hi Raza
Thanks for sharing this photo. Reminding my old days. My college was next to the museum with same structure. Still people are confused either its part of the museum or not.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Raza
Very nice colour contrasts of the building. The domes are slightly different than what we see in India. Pity about the sky..that's why the WS done by Didi is good
Keep it up
Regards
Angshu

the place looks great, i like the people in the shot, well done

Hi Raza,

A good POV of the Lahore museum, the photo has nice colors and a good composition.

Hello Raza,
Great architecutural shot. The red stone architecture is looking great. The POV is good here. I can see some difference in the Gumbad/dome here, instead of hemisphere, its height is somehow more then those generally seen.
Thanks for sharing.
