Second Thoughts: July 2013

Lomo-fied.

After a lot of thinking, and by a lot I mean a year, I finally decided to go in for my first ever Lomography camera :) And for that I'd love to thank @PhotoVatika!

What did I buy? The DIANA F+, a plastic bodied, compact, film camera which is a beautiful reproduction of the 1960's classic Diana design. A tribute of sorts even.

I can't begin to tell you how excited I am! I mean sure I'm going to mess up a number of times but the fun of it all, the learning, the shooting and the results. It can be magical you know. It will be.

Anyway, till I get it right, here are a few images I made of the camera itself. Have a look at the pretty little analogue machine and the 20mm fish eye lens that I bought with it.

A view from the fish eye (below), again, my first-est ever!

The medium format camera uses 120 film, which I bought from @PhotoVatika too.

The camera packaging includes one very useful booklet which is a manual and the other is a lovely Diana F+ book of more 'true tales and short stories'. Here's a look at the latter - You'd love it!

While I'm all in awe of the analogue cam, I figure there's a lot that I need to learn and it might not be that easy. But I am triply sure that it's going to be super fun! :)

If you're looking buy your analogue camera, lens or film then get in touch with www.photovatika.com or visit Lomography India's Facebook page.

Neemrana Fort Palace - The Prettier Side

No. I'm not going to be cribbing about the bad service at the Neemrana Fort Palace. Lucky you.

In fact, I'll just let the gorgeous fort do what it does best, look gorgeous. Enjoy the images from the luxury hotel :) Oh and as far as the bad service is concerned, you can experience it yourself over the weekend!
