" The five-hour F.A.S.T. workshop session with Girish made a huge impact on how I use my DSLR. I am a complete newbie, but thanks to Girish's lucid teaching style based on analogies, I was able to understand the basics of depth of focus, ISO, aperture, exposure setting among many other things. The level of personal attention to each learner in this workshop was extraordinary. I would highly recommend this workshop to any beginner. "



AK Srivastava attended the Master Your DSLR Camera F.A.S.T. workshop.



" Girish has in-depth knowledge of the subject. what really fascinated me was his knowledge about various instruments such as lenses, tripods, etc. which one can buy within the budget and can effectively use those to achieve the desired outcomes. That I think is the most amazing thing which perhaps differentiates him from others. "

" As a novice, this was very exciting. It was not just a classroom session but a lot of interaction and fun. Indeed it was a great session! 5 hours well spent. It definitely shed light on the elements that make up a great photograph and some food for thought. It's great that you now have a page on Facebook, so we can follow you and learn more. Looking forward to more..... "



Samantha DeSouza attended the Master Your DSLR Camera F.A.S.T. workshop.



" I had a good piece of technology being used more as a point-and-shoot, but now I enjoy my 'real camera' much better and justify value beyond what money bought for me. It was sort of enlightenment in SLR photography for me, though a long way to go yet! "



Viral Shah attended the Master Your DSLR Camera F.A.S.T. workshop.



" Wasn't I in for a shock when I tried to take my first picture on automatic and the camera came up with an error message saying that the flash wouldn't work and wouldn't take a picture!!!!!
However, I decided to try taking a picture in the manual mode. I took a picture that came out too dark. So I fiddled around with the ISO and got the photo's with the correct lighting! I was so proud of myself and thankful for Girish's excellent teaching so that I was able to know what to do. "

" I am very happy with the decision which I took to attend your workshop for DSLR. the reason to join the workshop was to know a little bit of configuration & to correctly /perfectly make use of the DSLR which was gifted by son to mi long back. The session was knowledgeable & crisp for the user at the primary stage. Secondly, it was not just theoretical but the time is given to us to practically use it & understand the results were remarkable. Shall join you soon with the next coming sessions. Thank you. "
