Heritage Transport Museum

I remember visiting museums in Kolkata during my childhood pertaining to my interest in History. From then till today I often look for places which could take me back in time. Antique stuff displays the evolution of mankind and lifestyle. Although I am not a huge fan of automobiles but for sure I didn't want to miss a chance to visit a museum which offers opportunities to explore the magnificence of history. I am talking about Heritage Transport Museum, one of its kind in India. The idea of this museum is the brainchild of Mr. Tarun Thakral. 

The love for cars pushed Mr. Thakral to start his own collection back in 1994. This was not an easy task as most of the vintage cars were either rusting under some shed or inside a royal palace. But when there is passion no goal is far. After some time he laid the foundation of heritage transport trust in 2006 aiming to build the first transport museum. 

With some help from private investors and collectors, finally, in 2013 his dream came true by establishing the 1st transport museum of India.

The museum is unique and would leave one awestruck. In total they have 75 vintage and classic cars on display. Apart from cars they also have bikes, a 1930 railway saloon, marine and air transport along with a small aircraft. Outside they have steam engines, buses, tram, traffic signal and other attractive transport vehicles. 

The objective of this museum is to showcase the public and private mode of transportation in India from the start and its evolution.

How to reach- Located 35Km from Hero Honda Chowk in Gurgaon. You can use google map and take the Jaipur highway crossing kherki dhaula toll.

This is a MUST visit place. Although I have clicked all the vehicles but not possible to put everything on this blog.

My Nikkon D3300

Buy Nikon D3300 with 18-55mm Lens from Snapdeal

I am not new to photography but I was using a Sony point and shoot camera with attached little wide lens . The camera is good, but the problem was its limitations and no option to change the lens. I have a habit of doing extensive research before buying any product and price does matter for me. My budget for buying a DSLR was 30000 and there are many options available in the market including combo offers(two lenses 18-55 and 55-200). But as a beginner my first priority was ease of use and the functions should not be complicated for which my choice is Nikon D3300. The camera is not very basic and not very high end. The reason I choose this model because I was aware of some the basic features like ISO, Shutter, and F number etc. The product is very easy to use, the functions are very clear and with the help of hot keys I do not need to go to the function menu all the time to change settings. The three basic functions like shutter speed; ISO and F number is damn easy to change from the main screen on various moods. It also got an easy to use dial for different mood like manual, Auto, Macro etc. The best part in the dial is for effects like you can give special effects to your pictures for example Vivid, black and white, Toy camera effect, selective colour and also Panorama.

On the bottom right side there is a hot key to delete unwanted images and also one to select time in case you want to use a tripod. On the left side of the screen the product has menu button, play button to watch your images instantly, zoom in and zoom out only for the captured images and a button marked with the letter(i) which helps us to change different functions on screen. The camera also got an in build flash which pops us as and when required apart from this there is also an option of extra flash on the top. Personally I don’t like to use flash until and unless it becomes very important because the product has an amazing ISO sensitivity which works very well in low light. The camera also has slots for HDMI in case someone wants to view images on HDTV and also a slot for MIC. In the bottom the product has a universal socket of tripods honestly I have never used my tripod because the VR(Vibration Reduction) technology works flawless. Even at the time I have captured very low light images the VR is a life saver because carrying a tripod means adding extra weight. The product comes with Nikon software to edit your images and it very easy to use. I have purchased it with an offer online so I got a Nikon standard DSLR bag.

Along with the camera the standard products are 8GB memory card, Camera body, 18-55Vr lense, user manual, HDMI wires, strap and charger.

I have not encountered any problems while using the product. It may be after few years which I will use the product to its full potential but I will stick with Nikon.
