He says “Many times what we miss out are the smaller things which are the building blocks for a whole package called NATURE.  Macro photography allows me to highlight these small and beautiful creatures with their amazing adaptability in their surroundings. When I spoke to some school kids about ‘Saving our oceans’ I found that their idea of the ocean is mostly limited to whales\, dolphins\, sharks\, seals and other mega fauna of the oceans. These are small efforts to create a deeper understanding of our oceans through macro photography.” \n\n  \nAbout the Presenter \nMr Kedar Bhide \nKedar Bhide is Managing Director at Nature Works (www.natureworksindia.com).

He has also received a National Award for his work on snake conservation from Indian Herpetological Society. \nHis photography work has been used in many books and publications on wildlife and nature in India and abroad.

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.

Registration link inside(below). \n \nDr Ajit K Huilgol\n \nDr Ajit K Huilgol is a multifaceted individual\, and wears many hats. \nHe is a kidney transplant surgeon based in Bangalore\, and has been doing kidney transplants in this city since the very first successful transplant in Karnataka in 1983. Since then he has performed close to 2500 kidney transplants\, the most by any surgeon in Karnataka.  \nHe was the President of the prestigious Indian Society of Organ Transplantation from 2010 to 2012\, and has many publications in national and international journals. He has received many awards\, including the Lifetime Achievement Award given by the Nephrology Association of Karnataka\, Lifetime Achievement Award given by FKCCI\, Karnataka\, Samaja Seva Bhushan Award given by the Subharam Trust\, Karnataka\, and many others. \nDr Huilgol has been invited by the Govts of Bangladesh\, Ethiopia\, Uganda\, and Nigeria to set up kidney transplant centres in those countries\, and to train their surgeons. \nWhile still in medical college as an undergraduate\, he made his debut as a cricket commentator in English for All India Radio\, Bangalore\, in 1972. He continued to give commentary\, in spite of being a busy surgeon\, until 2005. He was probably the youngest commentator in the country when he made his debut as a 20 year old in 1972. He has also lent his voice to Doordarshan for some international cricket matches\, including the Women’s World Cup in 1997\, and the Sri Lanka vs India ODI in 1997. \nAgain\, while still an undergraduate\, he became a hypnotist\, and conducted many hypnosis shows in Bangalore and Mysore. \nEven as a youngster Dr Huilgol was interested in nature and wildlife\, but it wasn’t until 2007 when he developed a keen interest in wildlife photography.

In 2009 he received the Runner-up Award in the prestigious BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year in the Mammals Behaviour category. His images and articles have appeared in many magazines and books. He is a very sought-after speaker on topics ranging from travels to post-processing.  \nIn June 2001\, his image and video of a large male tiger (later named Masti) caught in a jaw trap in Nagarahole Tiger Reserve led to the arrest of over 40 poachers of the notorious Sansar Chand gang. For this he was made a Special Police Officer in the CID Forest Wing\, Govt of Karnataka.  \nFinally\, Dr Huilgol has also acted in a movie\, “Freaky Chakra” that starred Dipti Naval. \nYou can follow his work here:\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ajit.huilgol.3 \n\nLanguage: English \nCovid Protocol for the event\nWhile there are some relaxations to curfew times\, we are still required to follow all the precautions that the Government of Karnataka has prescribed.

The more I wish to describe the mystics of Banaras\, the more I fall short of words. Then you know how most of your deepest experiences go unexpressed. Being a Photographer is a Blessing. It has given me a Tool to use to make people see the unseen. Each of my Pictures on Banaras and its vibrant life is a Story\, a Narrative.  \nThe Daily Life of Banaras is Unique in itself. The human activities seen here are typical of this place. All these provide immense subject for a photographer and has become a reason for an inflow of a huge number of photographers to come here and shoot. Banaras is one of the most picturized cities of the World. \nI have been clicking Banaras for the last 3 decades and till date\, it is almost a weekly ritual to move around with my Camera capturing with all the passion the various aspects of this fast changing city. When some people ask me what is it that I find so interesting in the lanes\, the Ghats\, the Ganges\, Fairs and festivals\, and the pandemic period also that I keep taking so many pictures (over 10 lakhs till date).  \nTo this I tell them that it is a Love affair between me and Banaras that doesn’t cease. Instead it is growing deeper with each passing day and every day I look at my city\, I find it to be as new as ever.” \n « ‹ of 6 › » \n \nTo join the session\n\nFaceBook:\n1.

Manish Khattry has been contributing to society from the age of 16 when his cartoons found a regular place in a leading daily newspaper. Since then\, it has been a journey\, where he has devoted himself completely to the creative world comprising art\, literature\, music\, and culture. Having Introduced computers as a recognized medium of art for the first time in India in 1994\, he trained around 3000 students and got their works of Computer Painting exhibited in various art galleries including Lalit Kala Academy\, New Delhi. \nPhotography captured his interest for a reason: his desire to know and then show the beauty in the antiquity of Banaras to the World. The rich culture and heritage of this City has attracted him and inspired to click it for a decade. Today\, he has a collection of more than 10 lakh pictures of Varanasi portraying its various facets of architecture\, daily life\, fairs and festivals\, food and craft\, etc. The thought behind is also to preserve the ‘real’ contemporary Banaras through his lens and prints in this very fast-changing world. His pictures of this city\, primarily\, have gained him the honor of being one of the top-ranked Street Photographers of the World. \nNow on a serious mission of compiling and publishing these pictures\, they are a storyteller in their own way. In this series\,  ‘Varanasi – The Luminous City (2007)’\, ‘My World Through My Lens (2014)’ have already seen the light of the day and recently ‘The Book of Banaras (2015 & 2017)’ got unveiled by honourable Governor of  Uttar Pradesh\, India Shri Ram Naik and ‘The Life of Banaras :: Volume 1 – Black and White (2017)’ ‘Bhaj Vishwanatham – The first coffee table book of Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple (Hindi – 2017)\, ‘The Life of Banaras :: Volume 2 – Color (2018)’\, ‘Sanskrit Bhagirathi (2018)’\, ‘Mysterious Banaras (2019)’\, ‘Kashi – Older than History by Times Group (2019)’\, ‘Magh Mela Prayagraj (2019)’\, ‘Bhaj Vishwanatham – Pictorial story of Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple (English – 2019)\, ‘Banaras – Sacred Thread of Eternal Peace (2019)’\,  ‘Chaurasi Ghat – Banaras ke thath by Jagran Group (2020)’\, ‘Banaras – City Eternal (2020)’\, ‘Kashi – Fairs and Festivals / Lakkha Mela  (2020)’ and ‘Kashi Rahasya – Vol 01 of 08 (2021).  \nHe also promotes Banaras through his photographs and books all over the world. Recently he presented his black and white works as an exhibition of photographs titled ‘Life of Banaras’ at Indira Gandhi Centre for Indian Culture\, Mauritius; organised by High Commission of India\, Mauritius. He has been invited to present such shows in other countries also.   \nA Gold Medallist in Master of Fine Arts from the Banaras Hindu University\, he served the Department of Applied Arts\, BHU as a visiting faculty.

The serene environs of his native place left a lasting impact and he became attracted to nature at an early age. After graduating in automotive engineering\, Gurcharan lived and worked in the UK for ten years where he sorely missed the space and freedom of the bush. By 2012 he made up his mind and returned to Kenya for good. Returning to the bush coincided with him developing an interest in photography. What started off as a hobby took deep roots in his mind and soon his life started revolving around wildlife and nature photography. Time and the bush were great mentors where he developed and honed his skills to become one of the most noted nature photographers in Africa.  \nThe more time Gurcharan spent in nature\, the more passionate he became towards Mother Earth and the many fellow beings on it. He is committed to the cause of a pristine earth and has devoted his time and energy to many conservation causes in Kenya. He is happy for the fact that his images have come useful for many conservation projects. One thing is for sure\, there are many more exciting things to come from this gifted photographer! \n\nYou can follow Gurcharan here:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/gurcharan.roopra\nhttps://www.instagram.com/gurcharan/\nhttps://twitter.com/gurcharanroopra\nhttps://gurcharanroopra.com \n  \n-YPS Executive Committee URL:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/event/high-heavens-down-to-earth-aerial-and-wide-angle-wildlife-photography/ LOCATION:YPS Facebook and YouTube Live\, India CATEGORIES:YPS Meet - Live,YPS Meets ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/YPS-Meet-High-Heavens-Down-to-Earth-A-Presentation-by-Mr-Gurcharan-Roopra-on-18-Apr-on-YPS-Facebook-and-YouTube-at-5-30PM-IST-Web-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20210404T173000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20210404T190000 DTSTAMP:20261008T103126 CREATED:20210331T163045Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210331T173025Z UID:9955-1617557400-1617562800@www.ypsbengaluru.com SUMMARY:"Blur - My Style" Street Photography DESCRIPTION:YPS Meet Live | April 04\, Sun | 5:30 PM | YPS Facebook Page and YouTube Channel\nBroadly speaking any photo taken at a public place may be called street photography.
