DRUSHTIKON 2009 - 3rd Photo Exhibit



The world we live in is made up of a myriad of places, events and colors… from the serene and picturesque mountains... to the raging seas. All made of different colors and different shades. The moment you see such immaculate sights, be it natural or artificial, you always want to capture them forever.

Over the past couple of years, we have been capturing countless such spectacular sights too, but with a slight difference. The difference is in seeing the world through our lens…

A different world through our Drushtikon ...

For this rich experience visit
New Art Gallery, Ghole Road
from 13th to 15th November 2009
between 10.00 am to 9.00 pm




This exhibition aims to promote and popularize photography as a serious hobby and at the same to time support a social cause. The group will be sponsoring children from Vidya Mahamandal's organisation for deaf and dumb children. Also, voluntary donations revived from the visitors at the exhibition will be added in the members' contribution.

About Photographers at Pune:
Photographers at Pune or P@P as it is popularly known, is an informal online group of mostly amateur but highly devoted photography enthusiasts with some connection to Pune city. Started in 2006 by half a dozen people, P@P has today grown to be a strong 1300 member group. It’s a mix of members from all walks of life, from students to corporate directors and from 15 year old to senior citizens.

As an electronic group, we use the online platform provided by flickr to share and discuss photos and also learn the finer aspects of photography. But that’s just a primary aspect. Apart from online discussions and photo sharing, we as a group conduct various offline meets, photo shoots around Pune and workshops and seminars on a regular basis.

The group has a fervent pool of 25,000 photos of which on an average 250 new photos and 30 new members are added are every week. Our activities as a group has been featured in various print media including ToI, DNA, Sakal, Pune Mirror, Indian Express, Better Photography to name a few.

It is the dream of each and every photographer to display his work in an exhibition. With that in mind, we as group have been conducting exhibitions to display the work of its members for the past two years. So far we have successfully conducted two neatly planned photography exhibitions.

Thanks and regards
Team P@P

Hampi Rocks!

Hampi!
it was a civilisation of about half a million population in the year 1336 which was known as Vijaynagar.

It's a belief that, Lord Rama met Hanuman and killed Vali in exchange for help from Sugreeva there. That means, Hampi has a epical history since Ramayana! WOW! In Ramayana times, this region was known as Kishkinda (Monkey Kingdom)

It has a mythical aura in it and you can feel it there. Some of the monuments are spooky though! :)

Hampi has it's own unique style of architecture. there are temples, there are masjids. Some monuments are mixture of both. I personally liked the HajaarRam Temple. The temple with 1000 sculptures of Rama on it.











Some more Hampi Photo Treat here... (CLICK)

AWESOME is the word for whole Hampi!

If you havent visited it yet.. GO THERE! JUST ONCE! n then again!

कॅमेर्‍यातला गणेश-जन्म

लालबाग.. मुंबईचं लालबाग... मुंबईतले हजारो गणपती येथे जन्मला येतात. सगळ्या साईज मधले... ५ इंचापासून २५-३५ फूटापर्यंतचे. आमच्या घरच्या गणपतीचं जन्म्-स्थळ पण लालबागच. गणपती बनवताना बघायला, अनुभवायला जाम जाम बरं वाटतं. काय मेहनत घेतात ते कारागीर! रात्रं-दिवस राबतात! शिवाय काम म्हंजे डेड्-लाईन वरचं. मिस करून चालूच न शकणारं. कधी कधी रंगवलेल्या गणपतींपेक्षा न रंगवलेले गणपती ऑसम वाटत्तात. (त्यांचे फोटो पण चांगले येतात) अजून २ दिवसान्नी बाप्पा येतील. पण यांच काम चालुच आहे. जागेच्या अभावामूळे, हे एक्-एक गणपती (२०-२५ फूटाचे) २-३ दिवसात बनवला जातो आणि मंडळाला सांगून गणपती घरी पाठवला जातो. आणि त्याच जागेवर परत दुसरा गणपती जन्म घेतो. गणपती येण्याच्या साधारण २०-२५ दिवस आधीपासून हे चक्र चालु होतं. दरवर्षीप्रमाणे यावर्षीही लालबागला जाऊन आलो आणि नेहमी प्रमाणे गणेश-जन्म कॅमेरात घेतला!






दरवर्षी बाप्पा येण्याआधी - आणि बाप्पा आल्यानंतर, लालबागला कमीत कमी ५-६ फेर्‍या होतातच! मुंबईतला खरा गणेशोत्सव तिकडेच असतो. धमाल रोषणाई अस्ते. २ दिवसान्नी बाप्पा येईल आणि परत एकदा फुल्ल्-ऑन धम्म्माल येईल!!
