Fatehpur Sikri - Last Surviving Painting of Akbar the Great
| Camera | Konica Minolta 7d |
| Lens | Sigma 15mm f/3.5 |
| Shutter / Aperture | 1/3s / f/3.5 |
| ISO | 3200 |
This, as we were told buy our hired guide, is the Fatehpur Sikri complex's last surviving painting of the Mughal ruler Akbar the Great (1542-1605) which considering Indian weather and ruin upkeep is pretty impressive!
When we were shown the painting we could barely make it out with our eyes. I had some success taking long exposure images hand-held with my camera to gather more light and detail and the technique looks like it worked pretty well here. Hand-held at 1/3s, neat huh?
Final processing included minor perspective correction, contrast adjustment, and cropping.

I love how the camera can at times "see" more than I can. This is a perfect example. ISO3200!! Amazaing.
