• Personal Photography: Soul Searching

Mahesh Shantaram, Independent Photographer

 Photography courses are dousing nascent talent with an overdose of technical crap and rigid rules. 
 This is a crisis, as I see it. Plenty of us are scouring the pages of flickr in search of inspiration. 
 It's time to look elsewhere. This session is for anyone who has even a fleeting interest in photography. 
 It's going be purely inspirational, driven by a careful selection of audio-visual tools that will fire
 all the right neurons.

• Commercial Photography: Soul Selling

Mahesh Shantaram, Independent Photographer

 I keep getting asked whether photography as a full-time career pays well. What are the creative ways to 
 answer this? How much soul-selling happens as we go from hobbyist to professional? This session brings 
 together those who are or those who want to be professional photographers. Let's share experience, bust 
 some myths, and say it like it is. I'm bringing my archives along to show and tell.

• How to Stitch that Fantastic Panorama

Shree Kumar, [gmail] shree DOT shree, www.shreekumar.in

 Free tools are available (Hugin most prominently) to easily stitch panoramas from digital camera images. The process to 
 shoot them is simple too. However, these not as well known as they should be. This hands on session will show how easy it is 
 to shoot panoramas. The true beauty of panoramas is revealed after they are printed. So I'll also throw some light on how to 
 go about printing panoramas. Given time & interest, I may try to tackle some difficult aspects - e.g. shooting HDR images and
 HDR panoramas.

• Working on your dream project with a day job

Ujjwal Grover, ujj{@}tempostand{dot}com, ujjwalgrover.blogspot.com

  Calling all startuper's and wanna be startuper's for a discussion on "how to work on 
  your dream project together with your day job". How much time to spend, when to spend. 
  Does it seem like fun or does it seem like extra work. Should weekends be sacrificed. 
  Should you just quit if you've got an idea? Is it ethical to neglect your day job or 
  should you try to be an intraprenuer instead of an entrepreneur?
