@rkt - me thought you gave up photography

That would make my wife very happy but unfortunately for her, no such thoughts atm. Was just tied up with work + family affairs and was unwell. Hopefully, now should be back to the weekly shoots...

Ah Rajesh you were missed all these weeks.
Well we were bereft of transportation which is why the Jetty was suggested. If you are available then we can definitely plan a trip to Khim beach.
We can probably meet up in the evening at around 2 pm and leave for Khim beach which should be around 3 hrs away. That should leave us with plenty of time to scout for locations and stuff.
After that if anyone is up to it I wouldn't mind visiting Chembur gymkhana for some um refreshments.
@Theqca - So now Mandwa is within driving distance from Mumbai for an evening shoot.

Well, Kihim is not 3 hours drive. Around 2 hrs comfortable I would think. We can leave post lunch but before 2 PM or we can lunch on the way. Dinner at the watering hole in Chembur sounds very good.

We should make sure to leave between 1.30 or 2 pm. Don't want to miss sunset and presunset scenes. Traffic can sometimes be unpredictable on this route.

At last something being planned for a sunday.

@ Rkt ,Brendon ,Ayaaz long time no see. I'm in.

Brendon · « **Reply #23 on:** April 19, 2012, 12:36:52 PM »

Awesome ! We all meet at 2 pm sharp at RKTs place at Chembur.

@Lightwave - Don't worry even with a 3 hour drive we will easily be there at 5 pm which is still too bright for a sunset shoot. At Bandstand G2 and I have to wait till 6:30 to start shooting the sunset properly.

@RKT - I am open to eating on the way. You can have a driving break as well.

@Ming - Ah doc, it will be good to meet you after so long. Get your 150-500mm as well. Who knows what we might find once we reach there.

Busy on Sunday

You guys have fun...

rkt · « **Reply #25 on:** April 19, 2012, 03:29:41 PM »

We should plan to leave at 1 PM if not then 1.30 at the latest. Panvel to Vadkhal (45kms) is a two lane highway with heavy truck and bus traffic. Any mishap leaves a long bottleneck leaving no way out of the jam. So consider revising the departure time.

People Confirmed
1. RKT
2. Lightwave
3. Brendon
4. Ayaz
5. Dr. Ming
6. tdmumbai
7. gautam023

G2. See if you can make it. You missed the last trip too. It will be good.

Regards
Rajesh

Well, there will be several tripods and all will not be in use at the same time. We all can share. Don't worry.

I have a spare vivitar tripod and im happy to lend it to whoever wants it...rules are - u carry it and you give it back to me in the same condition (which includes getting rid of the sand from the legs

)

tdmumbai · « **Reply #34 on:** April 19, 2012, 10:38:05 PM »

Thanks Rajesh!!
Frankly speaking, I did not give a serious thought earlier as not having a tripod - will confirm by Saturday.
BTW, how you are planning to go (I mean who all are taking their cars - I know that you will) - please advise.

Regards,
Tarashankar

Brendon · « **Reply #35 on:** April 20, 2012, 12:42:50 AM »

@TDmumbai - I have offered to let Nilesh use my old tripod. In case he doesn't come you can use it.

perfectknight · « **Reply #36 on:** April 20, 2012, 02:25:42 AM »

for the second time.. count me in please..

.. especially Brendon

.

@ tarashankar.. we can always share the tripod

.. i wont hogg it all the time

@ Abhilab... Dude i have a 50mm 1.8

.. and mayb some manual focus wide angle somewhere in my dad's cupboard which we may have to mount on a m42 to eos adapter.. chal chal tu bhee chal .. kuch na kuch arrangement karenge.. 50mm is also WIDE enough.. also u can stitch 2 3 photos together

Anyone spoke to Dr. Anand.. would love to have his company

Regards,
Nilesh.

rkt · « **Reply #37 on:** April 20, 2012, 10:31:06 AM »

Nilesh, you are ofcourse included. I had also sent SMS to Abhilabh last night offering him the use of my spare Nikon D70S. So now speak to him and convince him to come. There are two spare Tripods. Brendon has already offfered his spare Tripod to Nilesh. Ayaz's spare triopd can be used by tdmumbai so that settles the issues of no camera and no tripod for all and we all should be good to go.

Rajesh
