midnight wanderings in dharamshala: a photographer's chaotic take

i just checked and it's misty out there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. the streets are humming, cafes spilling out onto sidewalks, and i’m wandering with my camera strap swinging.

- vintage 35mm film body
- a pocket‑sized light meter i stole from a thrift shop
- a bag of expired film that still shoots
- a battered tripod that’s seen more mountains than i have
- shoot in the golden hour when the mist lifts, it adds that dreamy grain

someone told me that the hidden tea stall behind the market serves a brew that’ll make your lenses fog up in the best way. *café* on the corner is rumored to have the best espresso, according to a drunk local on a forum. TripAdvisor says the lake view is worth the hike, while Yelp warns about the parking. you can also check the Dharamshala Forum for last‑minute tips. if you get restless, nearby towns are just a short drive away.
