Birding with him was a sheer joy. \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n \n Wildlife Week\nIn the year 1952 with a view to preserve the fauna of India\, particularly to take urgent steps to prevent extinction of any species\, the Government of India established an Indian Board of Wild Life (IBWL).  The Board has since been doing pioneering work to arouse public consciousness in favour of wildlife preservation. \nFrom time immemorial\, our wildlife has been closely associated with our legendary beliefs and our folklores\, with our epics and our history. Our lives would be very much poorer without these varied forms that build up the balance of nature. Wildlife preservation in fact implies active and planned wildlife management under which all forms of life would progress side by side with human progress\, each in its own sphere of influence and utility and without any detriment to human interests. In fact\, it is with this end in view that wildlife sanctuaries and national parks have been established and developed in suitable localities all over the country. \nIn order to arouse a general awakening in the common man in favour of protection of wildlife\, the Indian Board of Wild Life (IBWL) decided to observe the Wildlife Week and since then from October 2 – 8 every year organize different activities related to wildlife conservation to commemorate this week. \nEvery year around this time (October 2 to 8) governments\, environmentalists\, activists\, educators organize different activities to accelerate the awareness of wildlife conservation among people. India\, being a mega-storehouse of various species\, is also able to manage several conferences\, awareness programmes\, and public meetings among the nature lovers. Schools and educational institutions organize events such as wildlife related movie screening\, painting competition/essay writing/ debate competition for young children with wild life as the theme. \nBangalore has the largest community of Wildlife Photographers. To celebrate wildlife and its conservation\, YPS will be celebrating Wildlife Week with a function on October 8th 2017.

Self instructed and a motivated photographer whose interests lie beyond the terrestrial life. Picking up a camera at a very young age\, he ventured into the field shooting macro and landscape and has continued to do the same with a keen interest for detail even today.\n\nHe took a plunge into the water in 2010 and started diving\, and naturally carried his photography underwater to capture the finer and intricate details of critters in the ocean.  His passion to explore the deep blue sea has taken him to exotic places to capture lesser known species.\n\nHe currently runs a print and packaging company and teaches photography as a guest lecturer in various institutions and to individuals who are keen to venture into underwater photography.

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:20260404T051255 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.

With the rains and the macro season being in full swing\, the team has been making regular visits to the Macro Hot-Spots in and around Bengaluru. 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. All of them require the photographer to get closer to the subject\, we call it kissing distance. 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. He grew up in the developing Bangalore and yet had access to some fabulous places rich in Flora and Fauna. Most of his summer holidays during childhood were spent chasing butterflies\, exploring various kinds of insects. The chase is still in progress. A keen interest in native fish of our land\, has helped document new species for describing.  He is Interested in all genres of photography.

It requires serious efforts to understand and appreciate what lies in the heart of Western Ghats. Discover stunning places and appreciate great views of Western Ghats with Mr. Uday Hegde. \nMr. Uday Hegde\n \n“Hailing from a small village in the heart of Western Ghats in Karnataka\, my mind and soul was always close to beautiful flora and fauna of Mother Nature. But I was able to capture its essence only from few years back when I got my first camera. Photographing insect world  and Landscapes gives me more satisfaction than any other subject. \nEmployed now with an IT major\, I make it a point to travel all over India in search of natural beauty\, whenever time permits. As for my family\, I live in Bangalore with my wife and 5 year old son. My parents are back at my village near Sirsi.” URL:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/event/at-the-heart-of-western-ghats/ 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/2017/05/featured.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Youth Photographic Society":MAILTO:contactus@ypsbengaluru.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20170506T063000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20170506T200000 DTSTAMP:20260404T051255 CREATED:20170505T185100Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170505T185254Z UID:2031-1494052200-1494100800@www.ypsbengaluru.com SUMMARY:Slideshow by Narasimhamurthy DESCRIPTION:YPS Meet | May 6 | Sat | State Youth Centre\nThe next YPS Meet will be held at the State Youth Centre on May 6\, Saturday at 6:30 PM. \nMr. Narasimhamurthy is a senior photographer.
