My first photography workshop

Those who know me know that I am not a person who will just like that attend a workshop or a lecture out of my way. Even though I am interested in Photography and have a DSLR and a good telephoto lens, I hardly know the technical details of the same. I like taking photos and I know my way through the instrument and happy to experiment and get some good shots from time to time. So when my friend suggested this photography workshop for basics of Lenses and Exposure for DSLR, my first response was "No". Nothing new there isn't. But then she did this thing for which I am grateful to her. She said she will give me company if I am willing to try it. So we decided we will go.

It was on 24th March 8.45 am, a Sunday, which is a day when I get up no earlier than 9 am. So by the time I got ready I was craving for my cup of tea which was not ready in my guest house. I could hardly keep my eyes open and my brain functioning. Thankfully when we registered there ourselves they first went ahead and gave us our breakfast and the cup of tea I really really craved. Once that was in, all my senses were awake and ready to taken in the lecture. The instructor was a well experienced and well traveled person. We had just one break for tea and the lecture. I learned quite a lot yday. Because I was doing a few things without even knowing what they were or what it meant on a picture. I wouldn't have done this session without a company and thank you my friend for that. For starters it was relaxing and cool. Now I know a few more tricks to play around with my DSLR.

They have the tutorials here , in case anyone is interested. Interestingly I saw equal number of women in the class and that was very refreshing.

Happy Clicking....
