Nosalgia – Stills from Nikon FM10 Analogue

Almost all the below snaps I made are by a Nikon FM10 with 35-70 default lens and a Vivitar 70-210 Tele. I was using High Speed Films and mostly I was sticking to regular 100ASA. The idea was to have blow ups and to have at least one show for the public in a gallery.

I believe, it is still not late to exhibit these photos for the public and my seniors and fellow photographers to comment.

Again I want to try the films along with Digital gadgets.

sil1 minarr
This silhouette was made at Kovalam, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. This I made Sun in the backdrop. As had lots of hope on my camera and me to shoot against sun. I must say about the models in this pic, Mr. S. Muralidharan and Mr. A. Balachandran, were very much adoptive to my commands in spite of hot sun and rocks.
This is other side of Kuthupminar. The minar is not so interesting for a photographer because of its size. But the place is surrounded by this sort of structures, telling the story of a great life and demise.
Taj frm Fort Window fortt
This is Shajahan’s view from Agra Fort, where he was compelled to live till death by his son Aurangasip. The Doom of Taj is very clear from here, where the his love for Mumtaz is still filled with. This is the entrance of Agra Fort. I studied that most of the Mohul architects were brought from their country and they introduced this sort of attractive and secured Forts to rest of the country.
gobii scan0002
This is a water lane in Gobichettypalayam. I remember that I made this picture with an Electro35, the best Yashica product of those days for a beginner. I was waiting for this light from the dark early morning. I as an alien to my relatives there, the days photography was only a ritual in marriages This is a marble carving at Tajmahal. I just made this close up wondering about the crafts men worked these carvings in those olden days. What kind of production control might have been followed in those days? What was their working hours? How food and shelter for the workers by hierarchy was arranged? The beautiful flower looks alive saying the sweat and blood histories of Mohul dynasty and architecture

Pictures have taken me back so many years back deep in to the history. It is really nice. But you should do an article about your good and the best model ever you had. Understood. But with the background, suffering and emotions.
Keep it up.
