Recently I got an opportunity to officially shoot "Pune Wine Fest 2010". Thanks to an informal group "P@P - Photographers at Pune" on flickr - a photo sharing website. After arriving at Pune in September 2009, first thing I did was to join this group.
Then one day, I saw one post on this group page asking for the interested people to shoot Pune Wine Fest 2010. They were to choose 10 people and luckily I made to those 10 photographers. And then there was competition between these 10 photographers. Each photographer was to submit set of 30 images. It was a nice experience for me to shoot such event as this was my first attempt at event photography and even I got to click some nice/unknown faces as portrait photography (especially candid shots) is my favorite.
Here are the photos - submitted for the competition plus some other my favorites from the event.
