YPS Meet | Feb 17 | State Youth Centre
We had a very interesting and informative session at YPS this Saturday with Shri. K S Rajaram taking the participants through an enticing journey back in time to the days when pictures were taken using cameras with an 8×6 inch glass plate as film at the back and mounted on wooden tripods. He navigated through timeless Black & White pictures of the American Landscape Photographer Ansel Adams and the Canadian Portrait Photographer Yusuf Karsh. The event was participated by around 25 YPS Members. Continue reading Journey to Glass Plate Times →

YPS Meet | Feb 3 | State Youth Centre
One of the tasks that the YPS EC team had taken on themselves is the intention to introduce diverse photographic topics to the YPS members. In line with that objective, right on the heels of Under-water Photography, YPS organized another talk that would take them to the skies. The Astrophotography session by Shri. Keerthi Kiran, a hobby astronomer and the Secretary of Bangalore Astronomical Society, did just that. The Astro program also brought in several stars of YPS into State Youth Centre like Shri. Dev, Shri. Manoj Sindagi and many other seniors. It sent us on a celestial spin and we hope we can organize more programs that would draw the seniors into our activities.
