Tale of a wet summer party

the sun is out…but let it not fool you…for its cold and wet…

have an insane amount of pics to work on…and i still have to upload the film stuff…maybe a mid week update next week…this one is all digital…trying out a new tone for the bw…low contrast more details…

let me know what you think…

my friend and roommate markus left for austria today…will be strange…first helga…now markus…will miss you guys…but now i have a good reason to goto Vienna…

know what…if only people did their jobs properly…especially when you get paid for it…my life would be simpler…but i guess im asking too much…

had a good chat with suri…and reached the conclusion that…
indifference is worst than hate…
that people do not appreciate what they have
that suri is a twat…
and i need to eat vada pav NOW…

met up with oystein last week…and met kristian and wena after a year…

later we went to a place called Beer Palace…its supposed to be THE place to go if you like beer…I DONT LIKE BEER…anyways…i asked for Kingfisher…which the bartender had not heard of…and when i told her its THE Indian beer…she told me the only indian beer she has is Cobra…to which i told her that…Cobra is British and not India…this seemed to piss her off as i had to wait 10 mins to get my order…nice…
anyways…at least they had strongbow…and a pool table

Pesto is good whereas chicken tastes like chicken which is quite generic…

Why work when you can play…

the first roll of velvia…with the OM1…quite a few scans turned out bad as the scanner was exposing it for shadows…and the fact that the film is unforgiving does not help…one more reason to shoot bw…

Positive, Negative and Tmax @ 1600

The game went live yesterday…and it went all smooth…goto work today and played it…and lvld upto 10…

After a crazy day yesterday…which was a all day breakfast starting for 10 and ending at 12…only because i had to get to work today…pics and details for another post in the future…

Back to the topics on hand…been quite annoyed by people being all negative and shit…and for some reason people end up talking to me about how bad things are…as if i can do anything about it!!!

so people…if you feel like talking bad about something or someone…go somewhere else…

It been raining and gloomy all week…not good…

Playing a lot of GTA4 which is awesome…

Shooting a lot of film…shot a roll of 3200 with the OM1 which supports a max of 1600…which meant i had to underexpose each frame manually…will be interesting to see the results…hopefully it wont be that bad as i was shooting Delta…which tends to have low contrast…

Just had a pizza…

Listing to *its all gone pete tong* soundtrack

Funny thing happened yesterday…in case you have not watched the movie Once, watch it…the topic of the movie came up and i told someone that its a nice romantic movie…to which someone said…”no shank its not a romantic movie…its does not have any of the kissing and stuff”…

Enough chit chat…time for some Tmax +2…i am amazed at how well this film holds up to being pushed…provided you expose it properly…

Tmax@1600 | om2 | 50/1.8

tmax 400
this must be two weeks back…friday evening…at a student bar called Evergreen…this guy came upto me and told me he too has a OM2…and how awesome it is…i ask him…”if its so awesome, where is it?”…to which he told me its home…i told him that i will take his pic…to which he went around looking for a girl…totally random…and posed with her…crazy times…all good
tmax 400
ah…meet a pretty girl with a complete asshole….MR.Asshole tells me that i cannot take pics inside the bar without asking him…yeah right…and the highlight of your life is being behind a bar in some cheap student bar…told the girl what exactly i think of the guy before i left the bar…the expression on the girls face was worth a frame…
tmax 400
wow…forgot his name…cool dude…friend of oystein…loved the OM…i had taken a couple of frames(read 36) only to realize that the film was not loaded…i sux…
tmax 400
yes meet Mr.Stupid who does not know how to load a roll of film properly…
tmax 400
Age of conan launch party…as i had the whole roll left…i took it the party…knowing that it would be dark…need more DOF…rakel looks really sleepy…
tmax 400
abs…was looking pretty as usual…tmax 400 @ 1600!!! and its still smooth…
tmax 400
the music was average…but the dj was hot…my metering was not…the OM is pretty bad when there is a strong source of light or back light…
tmax 400
but i got this one…makes up for the above frame
tmax 400
the other half of abs…my boy joel…
tmax 400
the gang…will soon move apart…but we have this frame taken by joel
tmax 400
yes…i like to crop the feet…this one should have been color…
tmax 400
big boss gave a really good speech…unlike few others
tmax 400
man…i want those glasses…
tmax 400
she is the awesome voice behind the in-game songs…

lost lots of frames due to bad metering…mostly backlighting…need to keep this in mind next time…
