Lessons from a Wildlife Photography Workshop

[bipin_gupta]

<p>India’s leading newspaper Times of India and travel company Yatra.com organised a one day safari to the Turahalli Forest Reserve near Bangalore – US $ 13.50 inclusive of Guide, breakfast, lunch and fruit juices.<br>

The group of 21 identified the different bird, butterfly and camouflaged reptile species, and learnt how to photograph them.<br>

Some interesting take homes from the safari: a) most said the quality of photos depended on the price of the cameras and lenses used; b) it was a one day fun escapade from the humdrum of life and a glimpse into natures beauty, the hills and exotic wildlife; c) learnt 70 to 90 % of wild life photographic skills from the guide Mr. VS. Bayar; d) the group comprised of retirees, professors, techies, doctors, corporate employees and few wild life photogs – aged between 70 & 26.<br>

Unfortunately I missed the event, being tasked to meet a prospective groom for my niece.</p>
