You probably haven’t seen many shots of Jodhpur that look like this.

That’s because we always go the extra mile to bring you guys unique, original content and images that you’ll rarely find elsewhere.

Twobirdsbreakingfree is about innovation, creativity, pushing your edges and blazing your own trail as a traveller.

We like guidebooks but we don’t follow them slavishly.

To get our exclusive images we often have to gain access to restricted or off-limits areas, sometimes even risking our safety.

You’ll often see us leaning backwards over the edge of a cliff or a high wall to get that perfect camera angle.

To get this shot of Ranisar Talab lake behind the majestic Mehrangarh fort of the blue city of Jodhpur in Rajasthan, India, we had to step outside of what would be most people’s comfort zones.

We had to traverse a wild, rocky desert landscape, navigate a steep incline, pass through a tiny doorway in an ancient crumbling fort wall, and then clamber up a steep slope of rubble and loose rocks to get up on top of that very same fort wall.

Once at the very top of the wall looking out over the lake, I had to back up to the very edge of the wall and avoid falling to my death to the ground over 30 metres below, just to get that perfect shot.

This was an off-limits part of the Mehrangarh fort complex where the vast majority of tourists almost never venture!

Epic shots often have epic stories behind them! We wanted to bring this issue to light, as many people don’t understand that if you want to take extraordinary travel photos, you sometimes have to be willing to do extraordinary things and step far outside of your comfort zone.

And what about you? Do you go the extra mile for your travel photos or do you prefer the more passive approach, waiting until an amazing image finds you instead? Do you go chasing light, or wait for the light to come to you?
