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. He is presently working as a Software Engineer in Adobe and is part of the team that builds and releases Lightroom. Adobe has provided credits to Arjun in the recent releases of Adobe. He was hired by Adobe because of his knowledge of software development and knowledge of photography. \nDo not miss the session.

In the process of taking photographs\, we also earn a view of the life. What is life at the top of the world ? It would be interesting to learn from the person who had been on Himalayas many times. Questions like how one plans such trips\, what type of equipment would help to make great pictures without weighing you down\, how to handle the high dynamic lighting conditions on snow-clad mountains\, how does one manage to keep batteries going and many such questions will get answered in the next YPS Meet.

He has climbed mountains in Himalayas\, trekked Western Ghats\, Andamans\, Thar desert and jungles of Borneo. \nHe was among the team of fourteen climbers who completed the “Mother of All Treks”\,  a 12 day trek covering 168 KM from Gangotri Glacier to Badrinath.  It reaches a height of 19\,400 feet with the route crossing a series of glaciers with deep crevasses\, boulders and freezing streams. After completing the trek\, Mr. Prakash said “I have seen enough snow this time”. \nHe is also a keen traveller\, most of the time alone. He has travelled all of India and neighbouring countries\, backpacked in South East Asia and Europe. Writing for newspapers & publications on Travel\, Adventure & Nature has been his pastime. He is a regular contributor to Deccan Herald & Sudha. \nHis achievements  were recognized by conferring on Mr. Prakash  Kempegowda Award in 2007.  He was  honoured  at the All India Kannada Sahitya Sammelana at Gadag in 2010 in addition to  many other  accolades & appreciations. \nFor promoting adventure\, he has served as instructor in adventure camps\, as Judge in climbing competitions and have also  conducted  numerous  slide shows & lectures  in various institutions. His most recent adventure was serving as a Camp Leader for the National Himalayan Trekking Programme in Himachal for a month. \nLast but not least\, Mr. Prakash is also keenly interested in Photography\, particularly Travel photography which started  as a result of his treks & travels.
