Meet Me

First Photoshoot with BWS (Bangalore Weekend Shoot) group

First of all thanks to BWS and Tabebuia for showing me the sunrise after a gap of around 8 months…that too a sunrise in Pink.

This was my first outing with BWS. I was too excited the day before itself. I charged my batteries, filled petrol in my bike and set alarm in my mobile for 5:45 am.

Sunday morning, and woke up in the first alarm bell itself, without snoozing …..:). Quickly dressed up and drove to Cubbon park. Reached Cubbon Park at around 6.20 and looked around for people with cameras. BWS members started coming and I was thrilled to meet all of them. After quick handshakes and brief introductions, we all went near the first tree in sight and started shooting.



We had to beat the cold and the dogs alike. Some street dogs and 3 Golden Retrievers were barking at us. Anand showed all BWS members that tripod can also be used to fight dogs.



All of us waited for the sun to rise, also clicking some snaps. I was thrilled and everything in Cubbon park looked nice through my lens. Sun come out and started giving us enough rays and shadows. All of us were busy setting up the tripods and mono pods, fixing the angles, changing lenses and shooting.



We moved around various trees and shot whatever we could until the Sun started playing with us. Sun went inside dark clouds. It was bit dark. We all stopped shooting and started talking to each other. It was fun checking different types of cameras, accessories and big lenses.

Sun came back again and we all resumed our work. Some people had taken enough shots, said bye and left to shoot Vidhana Soudha. I stayed there with Murali and my other friends for some more time. Took some more shots.



I stayed there till 10.45. I said bye to Murali when I heard the last and final HUNGRY call from my stomach. Murali was still trying to get some more nice shots with his tripod and 400mm lens. He told me that he would come back in the evening to take some more snaps with people around.

I could not wait to reach home and see my shots in my laptop. I was happy when I saw some of my snaps…they were better than I expected…Thank you BWS, I see some improvement in my photography.
