Mumbai guys - Weekend plan
« on: May 11, 2012, 12:40:33 PM »
Hey Mumbai people....

Any shooting plans for the weekend?
Looking at the cloud cover i'm tempted to go for a landscape shoot almost everyday.
Also as the mornings are pretty early and as the sun gets quite harsh by 8, we can plan a evening shoot. What say guys?

Anywhere close by is OK for me as my friend has borrowed my filterset and I don't want to travel a lot with incomplete gear bag.

I always wonder about that - you guys are on the west-coast and (to me), that would naturally point towards sunsets rather than sunrises and yet most of the meets I read about are in the morning?

PS: Bangalore can boast of the earliest meet - 5 AM.

I have seen no clouds along the Bandra shoreline these the past few days :(

Off to MNP for some macros tomorrow morning at 8:15am. All are welcome :)
Last few visits have given us some good damsel shots and Ayaz before you ask damsels as in flies not babes ;)

How do you all get time on weekdays? Or is Saturday off for you? For me sometimes even Sunday becomes a weekday.

@Lightwave - all bloody kaamchors...they've got too much money and dont need to work for a living like you and me :D

@Vikram - it depends on where in bombay you go...its an island we live in with water all around...
the sunrise is towards sewri (which is a place where photography is officially allowed) and the inner harbour near gateway of india where again photography is allowed.
the sunset is towards the outer harbour near marine drive, bandra (parts of it) and worli...photography is a problem at these places....brendon has recently turned into an expert at illegal photography in bandra :D

@g2 - go easy on the jokes about babes...wifey will break my lenses...on my head ;)

Yea and that's the reason I'm still using a 6 year old 30D
Amen to your statement, hope it comes true :)

Nothing yet people.

If no option comes out we can do the sunset at Dadar in the evening.
You can expect a few shots like this, with the sealink in the background.

I shall go there around 6-6:15. No idea about the tide though.

Doc Rajesh: You forgot to add the humidity factor.
