Nagpur, Maharashtra, India

I’ve been to Nagpur, Maharashtra from 3^rd to 9^th of April 2013. These are some photos from the tour. It was an official visit from my office so I couldn’t take many photos. Also I did a mistake again by carrying a subpar lens with me. I took Olympus E-PL2 for its light weight and MC CIMKO MT Series 28mm f/2.8 Lens (Yes! Again).  I didn’t learn from my mistake from Ziro Music festival. The thing is this is the only manual wide angle that I have which actually is better than the most so… I have to get more manual wide angle lens for EPL-2. The 2X crop factor in M43 camera doesn’t help either.

Actually while trying to repair a lens error I tore the electronic ribbon of my Olympus M. 14-42mm f/3.5-4.5 lens so I couldn’t carry it with me otherwise for traveling I believe the best lens is a wide angle standard zoom lens.

Things that I’ve learnt from my mistakes:

1. Decide the camera and lens before hand and do not carry any which you are not confident about.

2. Do carry spare batteries (yes, I didn’t so I had to take few photos with my mobile phone which is handy enough but one looses on creative control and quality)

3. Carry Spare memory cards. Must!

    The photos shared here are taken from Olympus E-Pl2 and Nokia X2-02 Phone.

 The above photo looks like a building from post apocalypto. I believe it is a car parking building though I am not sure (me= village belle=noob). It was taken from a moving vehicle.

 This is a typical cart of junk jeweleries for Indian women. Colourful and interesting.

 One can see such offers only in India :)

 This photo was taken from a moving vehicle from a bridge. I liked how the potatoes are cultivated on the dried River beds. It is said that river beds are very fertile for growing potatoes and other crops. Since I come from an Agrarian family, I must try this at home.

 Nagpur is considered the Orange city of India. Here Oranges are found throughout the year. I am not sure of many but I find the Oranges from back home (Arunachal Pradesh) far sweeter and superior to Nagpur varieties.

 This photo was taken from a moving vehicle. I like the photo.

 Taken from inside the vehicle so the reflection. Looks like double exposure. :)
