Dark-room techniques and Post-processing techniques were always used by great photographers to bring that life\, that difference into their pictures that made their good pictures look great. As mentioned by Ansel Adams we do not live in an ideal world where everything is “picture perfect”. Nor are we “Igors” pulling the switch to help cameras to take pictures. Photographers are artistic souls who have an idea about the end-result as they click an image. \n \nShri. Vijay Kumar Pattadakkall\, is gifted with an eye for details. He notices everything on the picture\, be that crumpled piece of paper on the ground or that small figure of a person out of place in the frame. He also knows how to take care of such anomalies in the picture and bring back that fine balance. It is no wonder that many leading photographers\, like Shri. TNA Perumal and Shri. M N Jayakumar\, had turned to Vijay to process their pictures for printing. Mr. Vijay had\, as a reciprocation of respect\, printed all the 50+ photographs of Shri. TNA Perumal that were displayed at Chitrakala Parishath during the YPS Tribute to TNA Perumal Contest and Exhibition held between April 28 and 30. \nShri. Vijay is also a keen nature photographer. On July 15th he will share some of pictures and also demonstrate post-processing techniques using Adobe Photoshop. \nHere are some of his images. \n \n  URL:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/event/presenting-your-pictures/ LOCATION:State Youth Centre (3rd Floor)\, State Youth Centre\, Nrupathunga Road\, Bangalore\, Karnataka\, 560001\, India CATEGORIES:YPS Meets ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/featured-3.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Youth Photographic Society":MAILTO:contactus@ypsbengaluru.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20170708T183000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20170708T200000 DTSTAMP:20260504T172240 CREATED:20170630T134928Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170630T135227Z UID:2421-1499538600-1499544000@www.ypsbengaluru.com SUMMARY:Insights and Experiences on Travel Photography DESCRIPTION:YPS Meet | July 8 | 6:30 PM | State Youth Centre\nSometimes I do get to places just when God’s ready to have somebody click the shutter – Ansel Adams \nOne of the charms of Travel Photography is that you never know what you can click\, even if you are traveling to the same place a hundredth time.

Adobe launched its first version of Lightroom in 2007. Over the last 10 years\, Lightroom has become the most trusted tool for professional photographers world-wide. The reason  for its popularity comes from its packaging of Catalog\, Image Editing\, Publishing and Printing functions into an easy to use tool. \nIn this session\, Arjun will provide an overview of Lightroom and its basic features. \nComing from a family of photographers\, Arjun Haarith had his interest in photography raised in early ages. He had been going out regularly with Satish and has developed keen skills in photography in the process.

Since then the interest in Macro Photography has grown by leaps and bounds. \nWe all understand that success in Photography can be achieved only when we have a deep understanding of our subject\, in this case the ever evolving Insect World of NATURE. That is the reason for this YPS Meet. \nCan we explain the behaviour of a butterfly when it is arched over a leaf? Can we identify the specie and the name of a butterfly or dragonfly after photographing it ? The more we learn the more you will be wondering   about the close-up world of NATURE. You will learn this from Mr. V Nagaraj\, with an eternal passion for the Nature and to whom we all turn to if we have difficulty in identifying a butterfly or insect. \n \nBorn in Madanapalli\, Andhra Pradesh\, 1954\, Mr. Nagaraj was very passionate about  visual arts right from his young age. He did drawing and painting  since his childhood days.  Later he chose photography medium in the early 80s. He turned professional in 1990. \nMr. Nagaraj is a Self taught photo-artist\, inspired by Nature and influenced by works of great photographers like Irving Penn and William Albert Allard. He loves to work with  ambient light. He specialises in Nature and Travel photography. His work have been  published in various magazines\, books\, travel brochures and advertising campaigns. He always enjoys sharing his knowledge and experience. \n  URL:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/event/nature-close-up-by-v-nagaraj/ LOCATION:State Youth Centre (3rd Floor)\, State Youth Centre\, Nrupathunga Road\, Bangalore\, Karnataka\, 560001\, India CATEGORIES:YPS Meets ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/15218431_1187896227956623_615597955_n1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Youth Photographic Society":MAILTO:contactus@ypsbengaluru.com END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
