Took a leisurely walk through a Bangalore market on Saturday evening. M3 loaded with APX 100, a Summitar 50, and Nikkor 85/2. The people were nice, light was good, and excellent filter coffee available in every corner.

The film was developed in Rodinal 1+50 for 11 mins at 20degC. Forgive the spots the water turned muddy during the stop bath wash. :(

Man making garlands. These are really long (6~10 ft and 4 inch diameter) and meant to be used in special occasions.

Banana Seller. It was a small lane, a banana wholesale market.

Flower Girl. She was servicing customers oblivious to me clicking away.

Fruit-seller. The cover you see behind hides a variety of fruits.

Cool Vegetable Seller. She was protecting her eyes (probably had a condition) from the afternoon sun.

Ice-cream man. They were everywhere when I was growing up. A special delicacy was a plastic tube containing frozen pepsi (or something like it). It would provide relief against the summer heat for a couple of hours, and it was cheap.

Many of the faces are too dark in the shadow areas, Ashwin. You could consider making a project of this market area. No more than 20 ruthlessly selected photos, never mind how many rolls of film it takes. Do try not to succumb to an over-dose of coffee.
 
Superb photos, great tones and lighting, it is a shame the water turned muddy.

Thanks meven.

yeah. As I mentioned, I need to improve on my scanning. plus, the metering here was complete guess work. my VC II is dead in water.

There is a wonderful place (Vidyarthi Bhavan) on the same street which serves great dosas (pancakes) and kesari baath (sweet pudding).
 
Nice work Ashwin! My favourite was the old lady, the blacks are fantastic in that. I'm trying to get some Rodinol meself:) Such a pain, can't get them locally.
