Strawberry Seller

I am happy you liked it, Henry. Thank you for your kind words. I never had the privilege to shoot with a Hasselblad/Rolleiflex medium format though my father had a Yashica TLR and we have a suitcase full of negatives.

But I did shoot 35mm film.  If you liked this one you may like https://blog.quasi.in/2009/10/ruia-naka.html - shot at F 1.4 on a Konica Centuria 200 film pushed 2 stops. Getting the focus right used to be pretty hard with the optical viewfinders in the dark.

I really like this image.  It looks like something that a seasoned imagemaker might have made a generation ago with a film camera like a Rolleiflex or a Hasselblad, with 6X6 120 roll film. Good composition and light.  Great how the viewer's eyes go to the strawberries and the seller.

haha thanks. When in Mahabaleshwar it either sight seeing or it is eating. :)

Hi Abhijit,
nice pic, but way you turned you eye on food, looks like someone's put you on strict diet. Good that u've turned from Vadas to Strawberries
