shashank uchil…

Since i have been shooting film for the past few days with my friends FM10 (35-70 and 28-200)…PAN 400, Fuji Superia 800, Kodak Gold 400.

This update has images taken taken on film in the city of Hyderabad about 750km east of Bombay.

All images taken with Agfa Optima 535, Kodak Gold 100, f/16. Love how the film captures clouds without clipping it…unlike my 30D.

The camera was brought by my father when i was a kid…despite my mothers protest who still thinks that its a waste of money. More so as the camera uses not one but three 625 ALKALINE batteries. But who told photography is a cheap.

So…back story…I used to work at FxLabs before i moved to Norway to work for Funcom.

Working at FxLabs was great…with the usual issues one finds at any work place. So when i got back to India…i knew i had to goto Hyderabad to meetup with all the awesome cool people i worked with/took free rides from/had dinner with.

As my sister Pratima used to pestering me that she wanted to visit Hyderabad…she tagged along with me. We were going to stay with Satish and Delna…both are awesome artists who have studies at Vanarts, Canada.

The plane ride on AirDeccan took about 1 1/2 hour.

Next we took a rickshaw…and the driver as usual tried to cheat us…luckily i had lived in Hyderabad for more than a year and knew how to deal with them. The Rickshaw is *supposed* to sit 3 passengers. But in hyderabad…i have seen upto 9 people in it.

In the evening…we met up with few guys from FxLabs and went to a cofee shop.

Next morning…dear sis wanted to do some shopping…so we headed to Panjagutta…the shopping ares.

Last evening Beau told me that its fine for me to have a look at what the guys at FxLabs are upto. This was quite strange. In India…once you quite…companies avoid you like a plague.




This is what happens to an Apple if you let it rot.

In the evening we went to Barista for cofee and Angethe for dinner
