Photograph of the day - People

PraNav in deep thoughts

The photo is taken at the shore of Arabian Sea at Bhogave, Sindhudurga, Maharashtra

Camera: Vivitar 3800N film SLR with 28-70 mm lens

Exposure details are not recorded. Kodak ISO400 film is used. I caught this moment when sun was setting on the west coast. The exposure meter misled me and I set a faster shutter speed leaving dark areas underexposed and hence granular. As composition of this photograph was satisfactory, I decided to make a b/w image with added grains using Picasa and got the photo posted here as the result.

Photograph of the day - Landscapes

Mountains in Sahyadris

Place: Mahabaleshwar (Maharashtra)
Camera: Vivitar 3800N film SLR with 28-70 mm lens
Exposure details are not recorded. Kodak ISO400 film is used.

For this picture, I feel that ISO100 film would have produced better colours and made the image less granular. The top portion showing sky is given a bluish tint for a better effect. The photograph is taken at fullest wide angle possible with the lens which has lead the image to have dark arcs in the corners.
