cross processing

this was an experimental picture. taken in a transparency film and processed with the c-41 process which is meant for the normal negative films..the result is that you have abnormal changes in the hues and the colours appeared as patches..it was fun experimenting..it is actually the rear side of a pink flower. i used a 4x magnifying lens in front of my camera lens to get the magnification.

There's a place called melattur near Thanjavur. even most people in Thanjavur are unaware of it. But its one of the few places in Tamil Nadu where you can witness spectacular traditional dance and theater shows.
it is called Bhagavada mela that is been going on every year for around 150 years.
the program starts at 8 in the night and goes on till the 6 in the morning.
this happens in a make-shift stage created in the middle of a street in a brahmin agraharam
