The season’s first photography workshop in Corbett titled the ‘Corbett Expedition – Jan 2010’ organized by Nature Wanderers in association with Kunzum was attended by 19 participants from Delhi, Mumbai, Gurgaon and Bangalore. The workshop was conducted at Camp Wild Adventure by seasoned naturalist Kahini Ghosh Mehta. During the 2 day interactive session, the participants were given ample opportunities to try their hands at nature, bird, wildlife and abstract photography. In addition to 2 safaris in Corbett, the participants also did a trek through densely wooded forests to shoot subjects like leaves, trees, landscapes – to name a few.
The second edition of this season’s workshop by Nature Wanderers and Kunzum will be in the month of February / March 2010. The dates would be announced soon. Stay tuned to Kunzum for more details.
