Itanagar Memories... with Nikon FM2n and Pentax MX

Memories... with Nikon FM2n and Pentax MX.
I am in Santiniketan and I am already missing home! It's been a while since I was away from home... 

Took the photos of negatives with Olympus E-PL2 and Nikon 55mm f/3.5 Macro lens  this way and edited it in Photoshop CS6.

Okay this is how I took photos of the negatives! I had to do what I had to do. Photo taken with my trusted old Nokia X2-02. Necessity is mother of invention! :D

Cameras used:   Nikon FM2n and Pentax MX  

Lens used:      Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF-D, Nikon 24mm f/2.8 AI-S, Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7 and Pentax-M 28mm f/2.8 lenses
Film rolls used:  Kodak Gold 400, Kodak Gold 200, Kodak Slide Elite Chrome Extra Colour 200 and Fujifilm Colorplus 200 film rolls.

The settings of the photo taken of the negatives are:
Aperture f/11 and some in f/8 at ISO 200.
Set the camera timer to 1 Sec since it was late night and I didn't want any camera shake.

Film photography is satisfying but at the same time converting it into digital positives is tedious... It took me almost a week to convert 300+ photos.

I'll continue the interest as far as I can...but I agree with life becoming busier and busier, one has to get the work done faster....

Aahhh.... I want to go back to my idyllic childhood when I didn't have to worry about running out of time...

I enjoy taking film photos. I am yet to master it. I click any random thing and it amuses me how the film gets converted into digital. I have to get my act together and take more meaningful and better Photos than these but meanwhile enjoy the sample photos from Nikon FM2n and Pentax MX.

My pretty and photogenic friend Ampi. Most of mine single photos have been shot by her. Others by someone at home or set on a tripod.

The road is full of potholes and pile of dirt on one side. I hope our infrastructure change for the better soon...

The below photos are of my ex-colleagues.

My kids are very flighty so I had to ask Barkha to hold them so that I can take their photos

Looks like Choju is shy..

Rika has cherry eyes but sadly there are no operation facilities in whole of Arunachal Pradesh...

Someone has dropped his underwear... hahaha...

The effect came out this way... Actually since it was Kodak Elite Chrome and I had no choice but get it developed via C-41 process. The effect is not bad if taken creatively as an Art Photo.
