Photographes Amateurs et Pros Mauriciens (PAPM) Chez Pepe

7 February 2010 13 Comments

Great day with the members of the PAPM group today!

First of all, let me introduce the group which I discovered a few months ago.

facebook

The name says it all. The group is very active on Facebook, allowing Mauritians (both amateurs or professionals) to share their shots among the Mauritian community. New pictures are posted nearly everyday, allowing members to discuss about the shots and thus, everyone keeps sharing their passion of photography. You can join in anytime, do not hesitate, most of us are only amateurs, still learning techniques from others’ comments, suggestions and criticism.

Today’s event

Chez Pepe
The group members organized quite a few events in the past (Catamaran, 24/7 night out, Shooting in Port Louis among others)  and today, we met Chez Pepe, Flic en Flac for lunch. 25 members turned up at the restaurant at around 1230… There was loads of things we talked about, for example photography, photography and photography. We tried to discuss about other things like photography and photography. Do I need to say that people around us most probably talked about photography too, lol!

After paying the bill (about Rs9510), we went to the other side of the road to continue our photo shooting sessions…

Bill

I felt a bit “shy” with my 18-55mm lens when I was among those holding huge lens. One of the most amazing lens is the first one in the picture below : a 70-300mm lens which all of us had the opportunity to hold and shoot a few pics. Wow, it weighted so much but the weight does not really matter once you start playing with it ;)

Lenses

This part of the beach was crowded with girls and boys holding their big DSLRs and shooting everything which moved around…  Even the static objects were not spared!

Sorry to people out there in case you felt that we were a group of paparazzi! :P

Group 1

Group 2

Leave all of you here, I will upload my shots later tomorrow (hopefully).

The next rendez vous is in 2 weeks time, this time we gonna down the Black River Gorges!

PAPM members, you rock!
