Hi, 

The first request I want to make is to the Admins: Please delete this topic if you feel it violates the Forum rules. I have been hesitating to start it for long, and if I violate any rules, it will only be because of my ignorance and not deliberation. 

My blog is about the following topics: Travel, Photography, Books and Cinema. It is about 1.5 years old, has a decent traffic, google page rank of 2, alexa rank of  150,600 and overwhelming love of fellow photographers, travellers and visitors. There are 190+ posts in total written by me, friends and fellow Guest Authors. 

To carry forward the idea of sharing , I have now come to Indiblogger to invite fellow travellers and photographers to share a part of their experiences with us. It can be one from teh following categories:

  1. Travelogues
  2. Travel Ideas
  3. Travel Bucket List
  4. Photography Essays
  5. Photography Tips 
  6. Post Production Tips
  7. Book Reviews

The articles can be submitted via email/ Submission link. For first time contributors, please send your name/ nickname, email ID , blog url and a brief intro in 1-2 lines that will go with the posts. 

We have fabulous Travel Writers and Photographers on indiblogger, if you are interested, please let me know. 

Thanks 

Puru

I am not a trave writer. But I can give it a shot. But how does one do the formatting and all on mail since a travel post should have photos and all. Photo placements and all needs to be adjusted, no?

Purnendu
from Pune |

Well give it a shot then. Regarding formatting, well I can give you an Author's access and you can log in to create the post by yourself. If you send it by email, then I will need to do the formatting on your behalf.

I am a bit busy with contest posts and a few other things. I will get back to you once I am done with those things. I want to write a post for you about my visit to a bird park in Kuala Lumpur. It is something for which I still have the original photos as well. Hope that would be fine with you?

Purnendu
from Pune |

Fine? Getting onboard a blogger of your caliber will be awesome with me Smile

Wonderful Initiative.. I would love to contribute something to your beautiful site Smile

Purnendu

Thank You Arti. There is no deadline and I will be happy to see a post from you.

I am done with my write up, Purnendru. I have also selected the pictures to be included. Let me know what next. I am not a travel blogger and usually do not post with too many pictures. So if you think you can do a better job, placing the pictures on the post, I am fine. Or I can try too. Let me know.

Purnendu
from Pune |

Thanks a lot Lucifer. I will message you on how to post it. Shouldn't be giving any links here Smile

Hi Purenendu, I have not done any travelogues but have travelled a lot of India, a good amount of USA and Mexico, and am an avid traveller. What I love in travel is photography, and have taken too many photographs, and few are my personal favorites and photography is my primary passion. I take out my car mostly early mornings just to capture few nice pics within my city too. So just looking forward if I can contribute on anything. Writing, Photography and Travel shall gel togther if I take up this activity and thanks for putting up such a thing. 

Purnendu
from Pune |

Hi Brad, thanks for your reply. 

Coming to the question, yes why not? We can have a photo essay or even photoblog or just a single photograph. Anything will do as long as its about travel / photography and is good. Smile

Hi Purnendu,

I haven't written many travle blogs, but would love to try my hand at it. I hope I do justice. Could you please me tell me how I would go about posting on the blog?

Looking forward to hear from you,

Thanks!

Purnendu
from Pune |

Hi Amruta, 

Just give it a try, mailing me will be the simplest idea. Or if you are comfy with WP, I may give authors access for you.

Sounds interesting!!!! I have written a few travel posts about some popular as well as lesser known destinations in USA. You can take a look at them and let me know if I can qualify.

Purnendu
from Pune |

There is no qualification criteria, I am too small to judge anyone's writing.

However, I went through your posts on Niagra falls. Beautiful write ups and amazing photographs! Smile

Ashwini : You post has been published. Great Job ! :)
