wow cool pics guys...so when will be the next meet
I am in this one for sure. Err... want to head out to nature? Just asking. there are loads of one day light trekking destinations near mumbai... both Karnala and Kalavantin/Prabalgad are close to Panvel - this means that we can do a lot of macro - as well as some scenic shots. If we head out to Prabalgad/Kalavantin, then we will go through a villiage too, so some rural shots will also be at hand. Give the kids chocolates and they will pose. Even Borivili National park would be great on a Sunday morning, we will spot deer and monkeys for sure, and plenty of butterflies and other insects. Or we can take a ferry across the city from Gateway of India... great to photograph boats and ships. Just throwing in ideas to the pool. If you want to restrict it to the city, then how about Neheru science centre at Dadar? It's really great, and will have some strange photo opportunities, especially the pre-historic sector and the gallery of mirrors - we can distort ourselves and fool around with dinos and neanderthals. there is also a virtual reality display, and a 4D short film to boot.
My pick would be Borivili National Park.

Exactly this was my idea to CoolG5!!!
And, i'm in for trek, again a trek on sunday just drains out energy to join office nxt day.
If its saturday, call me.

I have heard from lot of other photography folks that Borivili National Park has lost its lustre as the animals there are decreasing day-by-day. I suggest something in the city. Nehru Science Centre can be fun, I'm up for it. If anybody wants to shoot some ferries then again Gateway of India would be good.

That's cool with me, although I won't be here for a week after 27th, so please make next week is final.
I am fine with any of these locations.. Up to the rest of the guys to decide now. National Park/Aarey Colony/BNHS are good places to start, although I am more in favour of a light trekking destination.
^We can trek on a Saturday. But if there are rains, I don't think any one of us will get good photographs. In that case, NSC would make a great indoor location for photography. There is a 50 rupee license necessary for photography though. That's apart from the 51 rupee entry.
@CoolG5: Although the number of animals have decreased, the deers live close to the villiage itself, there are cages for two large herds, the monkeys are near the gate, and the butterflies and other insects are plentiful. There is also a boat ride, with something like an infinity pool forming at a waterfall, and it opens into the city. So we will get great photos if we head out here even now.

@Anorion - I agree with you but if its Borivali National Park I can't come coz I won't be able to spend around a day out since my exams are nearing. So let's take this meet not far off. I hope you guys can understand. We'll go to Borivali National Park in December when my exams get over.
I'm OK paying the Rs.100 as permit & photography fee.

I wish the rain stops but the drizzle doesn't. Then we can capture the mood of the rain in Mumbai. We will visit railway stations,colleges,beaches, office areas etc. It would be a reality photo meet you can say.
I wanted to go out today in the afternoon to photography the rainy mood in the city but the rain stopped & even my camera batteries were exhausted.
