Editorial, IIScPC Photos: Atanu and Soham As it was planned, IIScPC successfully organized the first week of "Introduction to Photography" workshop. The first theoretical session started with a brief outline of the history of photography, how did it all begin and evolve until today. We discussed from the first ever camera, "Camera obscura" to the present days' advanced digital single lens reflex cameras. The discussion also included the subtle relationship between photography and painting. In the latter part, the speaker, Samriddhi, enlightened us with the photographic styles of several pioneering photographers. Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier Bresson, Sebastiao Salgado and several others were in this list. Samriddhi, member of IIScPC, is explaining the history of photography in our first day of workshop. Sebastiao Salgado is on board. His works are being analyzed by our speaker Samridhi. Followed by the history of photography, our next part of the theoretical session was more focused on the technical aspect of the camera. Needless to mention that the art of photography is mostly related to capturing different light conditions. So, our speaker, Sruthi, explained the fundamental functions of a camera to control the lighting condition of a photograph. We talked about camera shutter speed, f-stop number and ISO: all three that complete the exposure triangle. We also had some interactive discussion session with our large number of audiences regarding zone systems. Sruthi is explaining more technical aspects of camera. Three important parameters of controlling light: Aperture, Shutter speed, ISO. After the Saturday's theoretical session, we were anticipating a good number of enthusiasts who will turn up for the Sunday's practice session. Amongst ourselves, we had already planned the number of groups and in charge persons of each group. We all gathered in the morning near the IISc main building. We split the number of participants in different groups in such a way that all of them can get a feel of using DSLR cameras. Each group had around 6 new photography enthusiasts and 2-3 old members to help them in understanding the features of a camera. Snaps from practical session. Our members are helping the new ones to understand the camera handling. The practical session was for about 1.30 hours in the morning from 8.30 to 10. We were excited to interact with newly interested fellows in this form of art. Equally, they were also enthralled to use DSLR cameras. For many of them, it was the first time they were handling such cameras. Although some had cameras with them, they were not very much familiar with the technical aspects of it, which they learnt in the session. Our members paid intense attention to all of them, addressed all possible queries they asked. Some other stories of practical session. We hope to meet some more photography enthusiasts in the next week's workshop. In the next week, we have planned to discuss and practice little more advanced topics in photography, primarily focusing on the compositional aspects. However, if new members wish to come from this session, they are most welcome. For that, please registrar your name in the following link: Register for "Introduction to Photography" workshop
