Exhibition of vintage cameras and equipment in Bengaluru on world photography day
World Photography Day
.
The oldest equipment on display was a 'cut-film' from 1890. The single film, in a wooden frame bigger than a postcard, was preserved carefully before and after exposure and then developed. A camera flash that could be used just once was also on display along with many 80-year-old film posters.
"From box cameras that had no room for adjustment, to twin-lens reflex cameras, the technology has come a long way," said LN Murthy, the collector of these vintage items, as he highlighted the evolution of photo-films and cameras.
He also pointed out that the flash used in the early days could be used only once, as the bulb exploded. Electronic flash with power cables came about later.

Despite his love for vintage, Murthy was all praise for mobile phone cameras. "It is a fact that today's smartphone cameras are both convenient and technologically sophisticated," he said as he recollected how old-timers would struggle with lighting and other conditions to click a good photograph.
Renowned Kannada film director P Sheshadri felicitated 15 photographers, including senior photojournalists, film photographers, and wildlife photographers, on the occasion.

Pune: In the scramble for MBBS seats across Maharashtra, Mumbai held its ground with 734 students making the cut in the first round of allotments—429 of them in govt colleges. The numbers tell a larger story. While the so-called Latur Pattern—a drill of endless model test papers and marathon study hours—once again contributed to the last cohort of those who made the cut in NEET, Mumbai emerged as the city with the fourth-highest tally, after Latur, Nanded and Pune. Of the 8,138 students who secured seats in the first round across Maharashtra, the highest—1,203 students—hail from Latur district. Nanded came second with 936 students.

Karnataka govt. denied due representation to microscopic communities in internal reservation: Poet Mudnakudu Chinnaswamy
Noted poet and Central Sahitya Akademy awardee Mudnakudu Chinnaswamy has opined that internal reservation within the Scheduled Castes was inevitable due to the hierarchical structure within each group. Speaking at a programme organised by the forum of Kannada lecturers of degree colleges at Kuvempu University in Shivamogga on Thursday, Mr. Chinnaswamy said as reservation was necessary for the deprived castes earlier, internal reservation was also inevitable. 'In a hierarchical structure, there are layers within each group. Hence, internal reservation was essential. At least after 78 years of independence, the deprived sections have been given internal reservation,' he said. Further, he said that the Justice H.N. Nagamohan Das commission had recommended 1% reservation for the microscopic communities within the Scheduled Castes. There had been no graduates in many of such castes. However, the State cabinet merged them with influential castes. 'The merger was clearly to pacify the influential castes,' he stated. The text books of degree classes were released by Nellikatte Siddesh, Chairperson of the Department of Studies in Kannada of Kuvempu University. Sabita Bannadi, chairperson of the forum of Kannada lecturers; M. Venkatesh, principal of DVS College, and others participated in the programme.

Agniveer cremated with full military honours in Lahaul-Spiti
Kullu: Agniveer Arun, a young soldier recruited under the Agnipath scheme, was cremated with full military honours in his native village Kishori, under Udaipur sub-division of Lahaul-Spiti, on Thursday. The 20-year-old soldier, who had joined the Army just a year ago, was serving with the 1st Ladakh Scouts Regiment at a forward post on the Siachen Glacier. He tragically passed away on Sunday night due to high altitude sickness. Due to inclement weather and the closure of the Chandigarh-Manali highway, his body was kept at the military hospital in Chandigarh for two days. The timely arrival of his mortal remains in his hometown was made possible through the efforts of Kargil war hero Brigadier Khushal Thakur (retd), who coordinated between the civil administration and Army authorities. On Thursday, his remains were flown to the village by an Army helicopter from his unit. The cremation ceremony was attended by a large number of villagers, relatives, and political leaders across party lines, who came together to pay their final respects. Udaipur sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) Aleesha Chauhan was also present at the funeral. Arun is survived by his father Jai Singh, a farmer; mother Shanti; and elder brother Vijay.
