Last year, I aprticipated in MTB Himachal 2010 as Photographer due to my over-excitement about this event, although it was very disappointing in the end. Never mind, this activity provided various opportunities to try different things from Photography point of view. During fourth day of MTB I tried various Panning shots !! Apart from Panning, it was really challenging to deal with light on hills and situation becomes worse while moving whole day. Light variation is huge between the hills and bby the time you get familiar with one type of light, you reaches another light region :) ... All in all it was a good decision to go to Himalayas with my Camera but I would prefer not to go to MTB this year !!! Planning a personal trip would be more beneficial in my personal opinion.
