Mumbai Photo Marathon 2007

We are ready to shoot! The first ever Mumbai Photo Marathon will happen this Sunday. We have a little different style of doing things compared to other Photo Marathons, considering this is the first time we are doing it! But we will have lots of fun, lots of great pictures and many new friends!

Rules of the game:

  • Capture all themes. 12 Photographs to be submitted in total.
  • Meet the rest of the participants at at least two spots during the day
  • Be creative
  • Have fun!

Themes

  • Roadside Mumbai
  • Mumbai Rush
  • Tourists in Mumbai

Day Plan

  • Juhu Beach, Vile Parle W – 6.15AM (meeting spot # 1)
  • Bandra – on the way
  • Dadar Station – 10AM
  • Haji Ali – 12 Noon (meeting spot # 2)
  • Crawford Market / CST Station / Flora fountain / Fashion Street – 2 PM to 5PM
  • Gateway of India – 5 pm to 6pm (meeting spot # 3)
  • Marine Drive Girgaum Chowpatty – Sunset time (around 6.45)

Participants so far

Ready for it?

Updates:

  • This is a free event! There is no registration fee! You pay your own expenses though, so no sponsorship either.
  • One problem we may face, as Ameya pointed out, is that we may need permission to shoot at some places. We are preparing some letters for this, but be ready to deal with such a situation if it arises. Same way, taking permissions on candid shots is advised!
  • At the end of the event, we will collect the photos. Put them up on Flickr, or some other place (we can use my gallery) and enable rating on them. That will allow visitors too, to contribute to the event! Later we can do a dedicated site for Mumbai Photo Marathon.
