A few Testimonials from previous participants
Gaurav Singh - I wanted to thank you for invigorating my interest in photography as a serious hobby, more so because of the way you meticulously explained all the technical angles in such a simple manner, that all our doubts got vaporized. May be there's still time for me to buy an SLR, since i want to exploit all options possible on this bridge-camera while learning the techniques and in process the handicaps of a point-and-shoot, but promise that i'll keep sending you my work for critical reviews. I also wished to re-call my casually chosen words describing this course as "basic" one, since what i actually assumed looking at people similar to me carrying point-and-shoot, trying to learn what camera to choose, as one of the most foundation step to learning photography. But towards the end of the workshop, i was able to realize, how smartly you trained us on the concepts ranging from most basic to advanced levels, offcourse closing the session with what was required for us to qualify to next level and yet not overload. Veeresh - I must say that not only my expectations were met in the workshop but were exceeded by 1000%. It was fun filled and extensive learning. I enjoyed the whole experience. The workshop is very well engineered, from the venue to the content & delivery. Lakshmi Nair - I too enjoyed this weekend a lot and have learnt many new things about photography as a whole! It is wonderful to see the photos you have shot and to learn from them. I really value your opinions on the type of camera to buy and the shots that I had taken. Thanks so much for the wonderfully interactive, knowledgeable and fun session you had provided. Diwakar - Thanks a lot for this.. it was indeed a fantastic weekend... I will definitely keep bugging you for your opinions. Deepak M - Thanks Very much for such a very well planned & organized workshop. Did really get to know lots of facts about our cameras & the way we look at the subjects in the frame. Now I am getting to know many of the missed or neglected subjects like Exposure,Focusing & Metering. I have been a Fan of you guys at BPC & remain so in the future also. Tejaswita Shukla - It was definetly worth the time and money spent, given the fact it is difficult to find classroom tutorials of so much value. Richard Joseph - Thanks so much for the wonderful session. Even though the concepts in photography is wide, you really did a nice job in covering them in two days. I wish I could use all of them I learnt. Hopefully I will be able to do that one day. Captain Sanjeev - Firstly many thanks to you for the informative workshop and for sharing your technical and artistic skill with us. The workshop has changed the way i look at photographs. I've actually started to appreciate them better than before and you have rekindled my interest in photography. The workshop was well planned & appropriately conducted & has made our foundation stronger. I also met a lot of amazing people during the course of the workshop. Srinivasa S - Thank you for a well-planned and organized workshop. The content was carefully organized and the pace, just fine to keep us all interested all the time. For me, this was a weekend well spent :) . As I mentioned at the beginning of the workshop, I had some amount of knowledge about some of the things like aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Most of these were self-taught and picked up from my friends. I had thought that this is what would make up most of what forms the "basics" of photography. The topics of metering, focusing, exposure were a real eye-opener. Also, I could set right, some of my misconceptions about shooting in manual mode all the time. After looking at the processing of RAW photos, I am happy to say that I'm switching from shooting JPEGs to shooting RAW photos, right from today. In fact, the photos I shot during the experiments done today are all RAW and I'm sitting and processing them on GIMP now :) Anurag Krishnan - It's fantastic knowing you! I really enjoyed and simultaneously learned a lot about photography in the workshop. I am sure I'll put it to some real good use. :) In future I would like to be the part of your wildlife photography tours. Raghavendra G.K - First of all thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, technical aspects and experiences on photography. Definitely last two days learning was a value for money. You covered all the aspects I specified prior to the workshop and it was covered pretty well as promised by you. It was excellent learning. I am rejuvenated and surely, there will be improvement in the photos I take from now on. Appreciate your compassion towards photography and Thanks a lot for such a wonderful workshop Siddharth - It was great to have been a part of your workshop! There was quite a learning beyond those websites which i initially picked up for my foundation. Thanks again for imparting your experience and knowledge with us.. Prashant Hegde - Thanks Jayanth for conducting such a wonderful workshop. There will be a huge positive change in the photographs we produce after this workshop. |
