YPS Saturday Meet | Jun 21, Sat | 5:30 PM IST | Street Photography | Google Meet

Presentation by:  Thejas K R

The streets do not lie, and neither should your camera, whether you are prowling the back alleys of your hometown or stepping off a plane into a city that smells like spices and sounds like a foreign symphony. Street photography is like being a detective with a lens instead of a badge, hunting for truth in the shadows between buildings from Detroit to Delhi, in the face of a Houston commuter lost in thought, in the weathered hands of a black vendor sewing baskets with his rough hands at the end of a long day.  Real street photography cuts deep, revealing the universal pulse of humanity that separates the tourists with cameras from the truth-tellers with vision. Street photographers move like smoke through crowds in any culture, capture light like you are stealing fire from the gods of every latitude, and frame moments that locals and visitors alike are too busy or too scared to notice.

Presentation by:
Mr Raghuram Annadana

Framing the Invisible is a dive into the fascinating world of photomicrography—where traditional macro stops, and the microcosmos begins. This session explores how microscope objectives can be repurposed to capture subjects at extreme magnifications. We’ll look at equipment setups, focus stacking, lighting techniques, and creative challenges involved in imaging the microscopic world. With real-world examples and practical insights, the presentation and talk aims to inspire participants to uncover beauty that’s normally hidden from the naked eye

Presentation by:
Dr Satyaprakash B S

Dr Satyaprakash who has been on the Mount Kilimanjaro and EBC treks, recently undertook a 12 days trek to Annapurna and Mardi Himal Base camps which were an unforgettable adventure that took him through breathtaking Himalayan landscapes and quaint tea houses. It was nothing but excitement navigating steep mountain trails, crossing suspension bridges and acclimatising at high altitudes

Highlight of the treks is witnessing the golden sunrise over the majestic mountain ranges. Despite facing challenges like acute mountain sickness and unpredictable weather, the experience teaches the importance of perseverance and being humble in front of the majestic mountains
