This class has two eye opening sessions – one is an indoor session where you are made to understand the basics and advanced concepts of Photography like Exposure, Focusing, Composition etc.
The second half of the class is a practical session conducted in a bird hide.

Schedule
Workshop participants gather at 10:30 a.m at the lodge and after a brief rest, we gather for an introductory presentation.
Lunch will be followed by an interactive session on some key bird photography issues, before we travel to Ranganathittu for a field session. We enjoy a boat ride during which we seek to put some of the concepts we learnt at the introductory session into practice, and hopefully enjoy a productive time with assistance from the mentor
Upon our return we gather for a session we call ChitraTantra, where we review images and share feedback, followed by dinner and rest for the day.
Rising early, we head for Ranganathittu and enjoy another boat ride, making some evocative images in the atmospheric river and of course plenty of bird photographs. After hopefully a productive morning, we return to the lodge, breakfast, check out and return to Bangalore, having advanced our bird photography skills by a significant mile.
Depending on the participants’ availability of time and their interest, they can choose either the 1-day Bengaluru Masterclass or the 2-day Ranganathittu Masterclass.
