Myself and couple of my friends had been to Shivanasamudra for a photo shoot, a couple of weeks ago.
We left just 3 hrs late than planned :-) and ended up driving on Kanakapura road,which was worse than hell.We did shoot for an hour from the public view point which was too crowded.However it was a good shoot and we enjoyed it.
I will be posting 4 to 5 pictures from this trip starting today.
