Might have some running around to do tomm...rethinking the kkhalli drive n back
Can we try the forest park near delmia circle in jp nagar?

Macro and birds(can't promise) would be the draw

3. Sudheer
4. Vignesh - met him at the end of the shoot :D :P
5. Ashok visiting Bangalore with two of his cousins - pardon my bad memory for missing their names
6. Yours truly

Someone with their part of the pictures ready - please start a thread?

Had an awesome time with everyone.  Had an occasion to observe a few great masters at work.
I didn't shoot much.  But spent time having a great time.  The only downside being having to leave early.
Looking forward to join you all some time in future.
Thanks guys.

Amateurs worry about gear; professionals worry about time; and masters worry about light.

Sorry Hayathji, I was at the very edge of the water trying to get a good shot of the pied kingfisher diving in and out of water. I did manage to get a few shots but I don't think they are anywhere near your benchmark.

It was great to see u all together. I was bit "out of mood" due to low light and less birds  ;)

So I havent shoot anything much there... but 2-3 frames.

This weekend is also going to be lazy I believe, as its really difficult to find a place to plan and go...

If anybody who knows this place better, can take the lead here, it will be live again.

i am guessing .... it may starts at 9AM as it needs lot of support from lalbagh supporting crew and they comes after 9 AM.

If we reach early ..... less crowd and good time to take pictures ......


waiting for others to respond
