The course is designed for a wide range of audience ranging from individuals with interests in Photography for any professional willing to explore what goes into the creation of beautiful landscape images, from sweeping panoramas to capturing intimate forest scenes. You will receive an in-depth study of landscape composition concepts and techniques, helping you create and capture your creative vision of the amazing landscape scenes we will visit. We will review everything from equipment and exposure settings, to how to find those stunning places and “work” a scene. During the workshop we will cover most all aspects of mountain landscape and nature photography.

Workshop will introduce the Camera basics, Lenses, Exposure, Color and Composition & Lighting. This travel, shoot and learn Photography, an advanced edition is the second edition of the popular and successful week long course conducted by MINDSCREEN .The Philosophy behind the workshop has been to awaken the creative photographer hidden in many people who have not had the opportunity to explore photography as a career. These are people who love taking pictures but have been baffled by the technologies involved in digital photography, or those who are inspired by the beauty of what they see but are frustrated that they cannot transform that experience into a great picture. The workshop is meant to guide such people and give them a start in the right direction.

This workshop has also been modified to have an exciting trip to the mountains to get hands-on experience in field photography. The core philosophy is that the outdoors is a great classroom and photography is best learnt by exploring it with a camera. The workshop will deal with the fundamentals of how to approach picture taking and complete many steps involved in the work flow of digital photography.

The workshop will be felicitated by Diinesh Kumble renowned wildlife photographer and Cameraman.

Dinesh Kumble is an entrepreneur turned Sports, Nature and Wildlife Photographer. Photography was always pursued with a passion even as a student while studying in the United States of America for his Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering. Diinesh has been regularly travelling across the wilds of India and Africa to realise and share his many dreams. The large amount of photographs and experience he has been able to gather convinced him to compile "DREAM SAFARI - A Pictorial Journey through Africa's Cradle of Life", a book based on his various trips to eastern Africa and its famed game parks.
