The Third Bangalore Photowalk
Happened this Sunday, between 8 and 1030 am. Eighteen people turned up. The bad news is that there is very little "repeat business".
harithekid is the only person (apart from me) to have appeared in all three photowalks.
aneeta_04 and Shande were the only "repeaters" from walk 2 to walk 3. This low "repeat ratio" kinda worries me, and I wonder if I've been doing a bad job of the whole thing.
People who have attende the walk (at least one of the three) please let me know what I can do to improve the experience. One problem I noticed during the second walk was that people just kept running off and soon there was a 500 metre gap between the first and last person in the group. I tried to remedy that this time by insisting that we largely move together, though I didn't stop people from wandering away. After all, the objective of the walk is to allow everyone to take photos of what they find interesting.
I hope all those who attended this photo walk enjoyed the event, and I hope most of them will come back for the next one, which will happen on the 27th of July. I'll get back to you people with details about the route soon. And in the meantime, if you wish to participate in further photo walks, I would encourage you to join the bangalore photowalk yahoo group. To join the group, send a mail to blorephotowalk-subscribe [at] yahoogroups [dot ] com .
Then, I request everyone who attended the photowalk to upload the pictures on Flickr and give the tag bangalorephotowalk . The pictures taken so far in all photowalks can be seen here: http://flickr.com/photos/tags/bangalorephotowalk/
Here is a photo of me giving gyaan at the beginning of the photo walk.
And here is a picture of the group at the end of the photo walk.
