Today,
photography has not only become a way of life but is also a powerful mode of
expression and communication. From smartphone ‘selfies’ to the DSLR, the number
of images shot has multiplied a few hundred times over the past five years.
Most digital cameras and even upmarket smartphones
give you fairly decent pictures, but how to improve and make the pictures
better, what happens inside the camera, how to make people sit up and take
notice of the pictures you have clicked, all this and much more you will get to
learn at the weekend photography workshops conducted by D. Krishnan, former
Photo Editor at The Hindu.
The weekend workshop spread over one-and-a-half days
will lay emphasis on the basics of what a camera is and how to handle it,
understanding specific photographic terms and what they mean, and practical
uses of carrying a camera with you.
Simple, easy-to-use lighting techniques for better
portraits and close-up shots, and effective use of shutter speed, aperture and
ISO combinations to create the effect you desire will also be discussed at the
workshop.
