It was my great pleasure for being part of the  event organised by IIM Indore (S napster-Aperture Photography Club) + IPC (Indore Photography Community) on Jan 23,2011 . In this event seminar from the great photographer Mr. Hemshankar Pathakji was delivered. It was very informative &  with  rich information about composing & using natural light at best in photography. It was a visual treat to see his beautiful work captured through his vision. A photo competition was also planned contributing the images taken in the beautiful campus of IIM. The competition was open to the only photographs taken on that day after the seminar. I took this opportunity  at best to explore the beauty of the IIM campus through my camera. The architecture of all buildings is really very artistic & inspiring to shoot. The evening light was making it even beautiful giving elegant shadows & lights. I will like to share some of the images taken in  this event along with small information on it
