A few landscape photographs shot with colour print film, around Jaipur and Bharatpur (Rajasthan, India), in the early 2000s.
After all the enthusiasm of learning and indulging in photography during my art school days, as revealed in the previous post Black and White Film Days, the demanding advertising / design career that followed put photography on the back seat. While the camera was upgraded to a Nikon FM10 with 35–70mm lens, photo shoots got confined to a few occasions and trips.
This time, use of colour print film was prompted by the arrival of commercial digital scanning of colour negatives that supposedly resulted in better, more accurate prints. Neighborhood Colour Labs had started providing compact discs of scanned negatives for sharing images on e-mail, for more faithful subsequent print reproduction and for lossless archiving.
A few selected landscape images from in and around Jaipur and Keoladeo National Park Bharatpur, in my home state of Rajasthan (India), are showcased in this gallery. They were shot between 2000 and 2003, with Kodak Max 400 film.
