It is a versatile multi-role software that covers several aspects of digital photography and is not limited to just post-processing. Plus it has a very powerful batch processing capability thus saving enormous time and effort for volume users.  \n \n However\, to use Lightroom one has to overcome a “catch” as it is based on a different type of architecture compared to most other image processing and even any general purpose software. This can make the use of Lightroom a bit tricky to start but once the concept is understood\, it will be smooth sailing thereafter with many benefits. \nOne more important point and the reason why Lightroom is not popular with some. Proper organization of the images is a must and without this\, usage of Lightroom will get messy very soon leading to frustration. In other words\, certain discipline has to be adhered to in the organization of your image storage\, to reap the benefits of Lightroom. \n The purpose of the talk is to deal with these issues and to bring clarity to the topics mentioned. \nAbout the Speaker:\nMr Ashok Kandimalla\nMr Ashok Kandimalla has been in the field of photography for more than three decades and has extensive experience in both film and digital photography.

Starting from 2009\, Ashok has been authoring a series of articles under the title ‘Basics of Photography’ in the magazine – Smart Photography.  Many of his articles have also been published in the ‘Viewfinder’ which is the official journal of FIP.  He was also a co-editor for the FIP’s Sapphire Jubilee Viewfinder book. So far\, he has published more than 200 articles plus equipment reviews in various leading Indian photography magazines. \nAshok has also conducted more than 100 workshops and photography courses for several corporate customers (Honeywell\, Bank of America\, Infosys\, etc.) and UNESCO. Currently\, he conducts workshops and classes regularly at Mindscreen Film Institute (MFI)\, Chennai. He was the President of Telangana Photographic Society in 2018.

Mr James Kerwin who has been visiting Georgia since Dec 2017 and also lived there through the pandemic will showcase his portfolio from Georgia\, and the capital Tbilisi. \nJames will showcase architectural images\, landscapes and hidden gems with stories and photo tips throughout \nSpeaker:\nMr James Kerwin \nBorn in 1982 into a British family\, James lived in Norwich\, England until January of 2019. He has committed the last ten years to documenting the beauty of forsaken\, dilapidated\, or forgotten architectural wonders; in addition\, he has started exploring ruins\, heritage spaces\, and deserted areas. He started taking architectural photos in late 2013\, and it took him into hidden corners and abandoned areas of cities\, all over the world.  \n‘Decadence\,’ his first series\, began his investigation into deserted buildings. He spent almost ten years building up a comprehensive portfolio that features some of the world’s most fascinating places. His approach to photography focuses on capturing clear lines and vibrant color palettes in the moment\, then enhancing the photos with modern post-processing methods.  \nNumerous international competitions have recognised his work and in 2017 it won both the ND Awards and the Chromatic Colour Awards in the Architecture category. He was placed second in the International Photography of the Year competition’s Architecture category in March 2018. In the exterior category\, his 2019 photo ‘Circle of Trust\,’ taken in Beirut\, Lebanon\, was shortlisted for the 2021 Architectural Photographer of the Year award.  \nHe debuted “Fabrica – A Journey Into Decay” and “Abandoned Lebanon” – published by Jonglez\, in the autumn of 2021. He has been a Pro Partner for Benro tripods since 2017 and was an ambassador for Tenba Camera Bags for some time. He held an affiliation with 5.11 Tactical\, who helped him out with luggage and clothing during 2019.  \nPhotography and travel go hand in hand. He had traveled throughout Europe extensively before he started taking pictures. He first became interested in photography in 2009\, ten months into his time in Melbourne\, Australia. He was set to head to the bright lights of Hong Kong when he went to a small camera store and bought a Panasonic Lumix LX3. Three weeks later\, he was shooting the light trail images that he had shot only a few days earlier\, standing in the dark on a bridge in Hong Kong.  \nHis journeys in pursuit of new experiences have been countless since he first picked up a camera. As a result\, in 2019 he decided to base himself permanently outside of the UK and started a photography adventure tour company\, first in Tbilisi\, Georgia. But as he developed it\, his artistic journey went on\, and he moved to Istanbul\, Türkiye – at the beginning of 2022.  \nHis portfolio shows that travel is a key component of his photographic storytelling. His curiosity about various cuisines\, textures\, colors\, and cultures inspires him to travel to new places. His steadfast passion for photography and love of travel inspire him to conduct thorough research and arrange all the necessary logistics so that he can take his camera to some truly unique places.  \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/james.kerwin/  \nYoutube:  www.jameskerwin.uk \n  URL:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/event/jotc/ LOCATION:Google Meet CATEGORIES:YPS Meet - Live,YPS Photo Tours ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/20240427_James-Kerwin-Web.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Youth Photographic Society":MAILTO:contactus@ypsbengaluru.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20231014T173000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20231014T190000 DTSTAMP:20261008T095511 CREATED:20231005T101413Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231013T160857Z UID:15770-1697304600-1697310000@www.ypsbengaluru.com SUMMARY:An introduction to the Zone System DESCRIPTION:YPS Saturday Meet | Oct 14\, Sat | 5:30 PM IST | Technical Talk | Google Meet\nThe famous Zone System was devised and developed by Ansel Adams who is arguably the greatest landscape photographer ever.

As is the case in many other forms of photography\, it is not just the pictures you get at the end of the day (end of night in this case!). The whole experience of spending long hours under star studded skies and collecting photons arriving from thousands and millions of light years away has no parallel. It has created a lot of interest in India among astronomy enthusiasts as well as photography hobbyists in the last few years. This session is an introduction to this fascinating field that presents endless possibilities. As the cliché goes\, this is a discipline where sky is the limit. Or should we say\, even sky is not the limit! \n\nAbout the Speaker:                                                                        \n \nMr. Chandrashekar G \nChandrashekar is into astronomy since 1980s and has wide experience in making and using telescopes. He is active in popularising astronomy through talks\, skywatching programs etc.\, at schools\, colleges\, astronomy seminars and even in the Bengaluru Planetarium.  \nHe started his astrophotography journey with manually driven equipment that looks almost comical in today’s high-tech world. Over the years he has acquired some sophisticated equipment that makes the Astro-life a lot easier. He would be speaking on the basics of deep sky astrophotography along with some of his learnings from years of doing astronomy. \n  \nSocial handles :  \nchandrainsky@gmail.com \nfacebook: Chandrashekar Gopalarao \n  \nLanguage: English \nDo join us on 12 November\, 2022\, 5:30 pm IST on Google Meet at the usual coordinates \nAlso request you to join the session 15 mins prior to check your audio and video functionality. \nThe session starts at sharp 5.30 PM IST \nHere is how to participate: \nClick here or visit the below Google Meet Link on the day of the event\nGoogle Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/iif-znku-vyt \nIn case of any issues in connecting to the meeting\, request to please call us on our official number by clicking here or simply dial: +91 9513-YPS-BLR (+91 9513-977-257) \nYou can also WhatsApp us by clicking here (or on the icon below) or by sending a WhatsApp message on the above mentioned official number. \n \nNote: Registration is NOT necessary and look forward to seeing you all this Saturday at 5:15 PM IST. \n\nSome salient features of YPS Saturday Meets: \n\nExclusively for Members.\nHear and be heard – These are interactive sessions and not talk shows.\nDiscuss and learn from real Member Pictures for absolute learning for every one.\nOpinion from experts and knowledge from everyone who wants to share.\n\nSome Google Meet Self-Disciplines to be followed to make the experience memorable for everyone: \n\nDo not interrupt when something is being presented.
