This month started off on a big bang with the prize distribution ceremony of Bengaluru Photo Marathon Infinite 2010. The prize distribution ceremony was coupled with an exhibition of 65 amazing photos that were selected by the judges and was held at Jaaga.

I would like to thank Peevee, Suyog, and everyone who volunteered for all the hard work in putting this event together and to all the participants for their stunning portrayal of Bengaluru in making this event a grand success.

Here are some highlights from the prize distribution ceremony, presented through photos. To view all the submissions to the contest, proceed here.

Bengaluru photographers, time to get your photography gear out. Bengaluru Infinite 2010 is finally here! A day filled with photography in your favourite city capturing the city at its best.

What is it?

Bengaluru Infinite is a photo-marathon that will test your photography skills to the core. Each participant will be given 4 themes on which they will need to take photographs. The themes will cover a wide variety of subjects that are associated with Bengaluru, that define Bengaluru or that showcase the spirit of Bengaluru.

The contest starts at 8AM in the morning and ends at 8PM in the evening during which, the participants will need to shoot photographs that match the themes given to them.

Remember, you only get to submit two photos per theme, so make sure you take plenty of photos for the theme and pick up the best two of the lot.

You can find more details about the contest and the terms and conditions for submission here.

What camera should I use?

Photography is more about finding a great moment and capturing it in your camera, rather than a function of the equipment you use. It doesn’t matter what camera you use as long as you are excited to participate and have a knack of identifying a unique moment from the rest.

It goes without saying that you would do better if you had at least a DSLR camera in your hands, but no need to fret if you have a compact camera of a mobile camera since composing a great photo is 90% of the battle won.
