[Recap] The "36" Photo Walk Hyderabad

[FazeelUsmani]

The sun was blazing with heat and the mercury levels touched down to 40°C. But nothing has stopped Hyderabad local guides to be a part of the incredible 36 walk. I would like to thank Taarak who came all the way long from the Hi-tech city (21.1km from the venue) and also all the attendees. 

I would like to tag @PaulPavlinovich who is the mastermind behind this adorable walk

We met near the Salarjung Museum ticket counter and then started the walk by introducing each other. First, we discussed the purpose and idea behind this walk as its very important to proceed further. Then I shared the following tips to capture the best photo:

1. Leaving spaces, leading lines, rules of thirds and the golden ratio by @LuisRG
2. 4 tips to take great photos by @YanniY
3. How to upload great photos to Google Maps and Three Quick Tips for Taking Better Photos by @AnnaDickson
4. 5 tips to take stunning photos on your phone by @davo_dw
5. And the most important tip to save data and upload over Wifi by @TokyoJoe

Way to entrance; haha... huge queue

Finally, after waiting for 15 minutes we got a chance to explore Salarjung Museum. It contains three blocks (or sections) namely Central block, Eastern block and Western block. And in turn these blocks are of three floors each; ground, first and second. So there was much more to explore. Take a look at a portrait of Mir Osman Ali Khan (the last Nizam of Hyderabad). He is known for his unique beauty, style and royalty. In the following picture, you can see his photo printed on his walking stick.

Nice post @FazeelUsmani , get to know some history about India.  And like the elephant showcase in first photo.

@FazeelUsmani, your recap is very much like an exhibition of the museum, and I really do enjoy seeing and discovering many historical artefacts of India. I especially like the Double Statue of Mephistopheles, Margaretta I think that sculpture is immensely powerful. That museum must be huge!

I appreciate the share and recap. Also thanks for linking a few of the photo tips too, they're super useful and great to inform fellow attendees especially if they aren't on Local Guides Connect. Let me tell you, if the temperature hits 40ºC and there are long queues, I'd be the type of person to shy away and probably spend the afternoon underneath a tree or indoors. Kudos to your perseverance and adventure!

Thanks, @Briggs actually there are three spots in Salarjung Museum where visitors found them lucky enough to be there. The first one is the double statue of Mephistopheles and Margaretta, the second one is Rebecca and the final one is the clock; which is in the photo album. Yeah, exactly the sculptor is the dominant and also the museum is enormous. It has three blocks covering an enormous area and consists of a large number of artefacts, portraits, furniture and all things about Indian culture and history. 

               Thanks for loving it @Briggs.
