Bangalore Hifi meet 2011?

[cmsajith]

any one interested in photography among the ones attending the meet, can volunteer to assist me, and they can sure learn a trick or two from me in photography...

I will be happy to volunteer. For the off camera flash, I can bring my two umbrella stands and one umbrella diffuser and an umbrella reflector along with one wireless trigger / 2 receivers and 2 Flashes (TTL for Canon/Nikon). I will bring my camera also.

Edit: I saw a few others had also shown willingness to volunteer. I will join if nobody else is there.

Did I tell you that I will bring it to make it as a shootout? If you require, I can bring it so that it wont obstruct any others, thats all.

Looks great! Thanks for the effort and the hard work. I remember that we were going to finalize on the list of a few songs. Has that been finalized? If yes, can it be posted here so that we can listen to them a few times to create a reference before we come for the meet.
