Rep Power: 10 | Great pictures PB. I am really impressed with the technical quality of the photos. Even a modern digital camera can't match that. I think it was probably taken in a large or medium format film camera with a classic German camera like the Rolleiflex or a Speed Graphic with an amazing Planar lens. -F or it could be a recent photo with some photoshop work. |

Rep Power: 9 | it is indeed sad. I would recommend the film "yeh woh manzil toh nehi", if you can find it. Gave a real insight into the situation. |

Rep Power: 10 | Wow great pics... India looks truly free on that day than what we see today... Just see how people are roaming freely near President Palace... No security guys to stop anyone... Now, menace of terrorism has forced us to sacrifice some of our freedom... Every important place you go, it's the sight of the Policemen/Security which welcomes you... |
