B&W

Pushkar, November 2006
Ilford 400, Nikon F75


B&W photographs have their own charm, a charm not yet achievable by converting a digital image to Grey scale. I haven't clicked much on B&W, am still learning and most of my initial ones got screwed (& scratched) while processing (courtesy labs who don't know how to process B&Ws but neither do they have the courage t0 say 'No'). Finally heard about Profo Lab in Jamrudpur, Opposite LSR, New Delhi and they haven't disappointed me.

Tenta landscape

Tenta, On way to Chhotta Chandratal
July, 2007

I miss Himachal. I terribly miss my native state. I never ever realized the importance of the surroundings I was growing in until I moved out of the place.

Hope this place is able to preserve its intimacy with nature.

On way to Chhotta Chandratal, this was our last camp before the summit. A beautiful place surrounded by snow capped mountains and a stream flowing in between. This was indeed the best day of the trek, we received enough sun and enough light from morning till evening. And when the clouds came at around 6 in the evening they came from all sides and we literally slept in the clouds.
