Indu film + Old Agfa Click III + Caffenol = Weird
This was where I went kamikaze. An old expired Indu film on an Agfa Click III which hadn’t been used for at least the last 20 years and developing in Caffenol with a slightly different mix to previous times. I am lucky at least this turned up.
Caffenol details:
Water 450ml
Instant Coffee (Sunrise) 10g
Vitamin C 4g
Washing Soda 10g approximately.
Developed for 20 minutes. Agitated thrice every minute for the first ten. Let stand for next 5. Agitated thrice. Let stand for another 5 minutes.
Saraswati Ghat
A boat has packed up for the day at the busy Saraswati Ghat in Allahabad, on the penultimate day of the Maha Kumbh.
A smog-less evening in Mumbai
One of those rare days when you can see the buildings across from the Marine Drive clearly. There was no smog and the sun had just set. It was also a couple of hours before high tides as rocks became visible above the surface.
I kept an eye out for similar skies through the subsequent week or so but wasn’t lucky enough to get a smog-free evening again.
This was part of a much wider panorama, but the gaudy lighting around a marriage hall (?) required it to be cropped off.
Hand of god
A crane appears to hang over a group of photographers and bird-watchers as the sun rises over the Sewri mudflats in Mumbai.
Pune Sunset
Sun sets at the Pune cricket stadium
United colours
Shot outside of Kandy just after the sun had set. Camera flash lights up the back of the two men and a long exposure takes care of the sky.
The sunsets in these parts have been nothing short of extraordinary. However, this is about the time it is supposed to keep raining. It hasn’t for the last 7 months or so. Clouds come and go, and now they’ve even stopped being tantalizing. There simply is no rain, only great sunsets.
