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:20260504T184903 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. But we\, photographers\, do want to travel to such places that have the potential to create opportunities to click. \nThe July 8th Open House has been converted to an extra YPS Meet to be able to bring you the expertise of Mr. Mohammed Arfan Asif\, a YPS Life Member and an internationally well-known photographer. He is also on the panel of Jury or the YPS International Salon. The presentation will describe and deliberate on the various attributes of Travel Photography.

This is the right time to get closer and enhance details.  That would be the focus of the next session. \n \nThere are many approaches to macro photography and plenty of techniques to enhance the details.

One of the new finds in the Macro group is Mr. Hayath Mohammad\, who has his unique way of capturing insects in closer range. We have been seeing him hopping around JP Nagar Forest and coming up with pictures having unimaginable amount of details. He has agreed to share his secrets with YPS team.  Do not miss the opportunity to learn. \nHayath Mohammed is a Technical Architect from IT Industry by profession and a nature enthusiast by passion.

Due to the inherent technical nature of the digital files\, they require processing to bring out the best image from them. \nThere are many experts in YPS Membership\, who have mastered post-processing using Photoshop. 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.

How do you capture that fleeting moment which leaves a lasting impression in our mind?
