YPS Wildlife Week | Wednesday, October 08 | 5:30 PM IST | Wildlife Photography | Google Meet

Presentation by: Praveen P Mohandas

“Birds are the harbingers of a new day, new season, changes and differences in our immediate environment. To most of us, birds represent musical sounds and bewitching colours. As a photographer this seems to me a very shallow understanding of the avian world because we are distracted by mere superficial elements. There is more to birds than what appears on the surface – tales of strength, survival, energy and beauty. The presentation that you are about to see is an exploration of the captivating world of birds through black and white photographs, showcasing the beauty, texture, and contrast of birds in their natural environment highlighting their behaviour and interactions without the distraction of colour.”

YPS Wildlife Week | Saturday, October 04 | 5:30 PM IST | Wildlife Photography | Google Meet

Presentation by: Satish H

Many times, we do not look at nature in detail or minutely. We do not observe the intricacies and the creativity of nature.  

Most of us take Macro pictures of insects, butterflies or spiders. This we do to show the species or maybe sometimes, its characteristics. But this presentation of Nature in Close-Up may not contain these subjects as a whole, but Satish will be showing the opportunities that one has to closely look for in – Nature.

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

YPS Saturday Meet | Jul 12, Sat | 5:30 PM IST | Travel Photography | Google Meet

Presentation by: Prema Kakade

The Himalayan ranges are a favorite of photographers, especially Indians due to its proximity to our country. Nepal not only has 8 of the world’s 10 tallest mountains but also a rich royal heritage, culture and history. 

This presentation will cover the regions from Kathmandu, to Chitwan in the south-west to Muktinath in the lower Mustang region in the north, including a trek along the river Gandaki.

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.
