Through our workshop, we hope to consolidate the pool of talent in the field of photography that can take photography, as a profession, to the next stage. We intend to provide the photographers an apt platform and give them equal opportunities to display their talent. In addition, we would also like to showcase and give a feel to the participants of the high-end Canon equipment, which are suitable for this form of photography. We hope to organize similar workshops in the future as well and appreciate."
The two-day workshop included a welcome note by Seiji Hamanishi, Assistant Director, ICP, Canon India and Jai Kumar Pillai, Marketing Manager, ICP, Canon India. This was followed by insightful workshops/sessions on Imperative and Ethics of Photo Journalism. On the second day, there were two workshops. The first was on Photosynthesis - contemporary photography and the second session on Photography and hurdles faced by modern day photographers. The workshops aimed at providing awareness and besides aesthetics sense, they highlighted upon the needs to have a definite level of sensitivity & receptiveness towards the environment coupled with a technical bent of mind, and how photographs should be individualistic too representing the emotions of the photographer. Challenges that photographers faced everyday was also one of the most discussed topics in these workshops.
For this two-day workshop Canon choose speakers across genres. The workshop witnessed sessions by Chaitanya Kalbag, Editor-Business Today, Subi Chaturvedi, a Filmmaker & a media practitioner activist and Dinesh Khanna, an independent photographer, who specializes in travel photography.
The sessions conducted offered an opportunity to interact with the professionals and learn the nuances of photography from them. Chaitanya Kalbag, spoke about Imperative and Ethics of Photo Journalism. While talking about the issues photographers deal with every day, he said "Credibility and responsibility are words that give the right to call photography a profession rather than a business. Not maintaining that credibility will diminish the journalistic impact and self-respect, and the importance of photography as communication." He also mentioned that pictures have tremendous impact and as responsible photographers, images that can offend, shock, mislead, stereotype and confuse should be evaded.
Another trainer threw light on the various photographic talents that exist around the world and how exposure to photography is being accepted by varied strata of society. "The entire world has started recognizing the contribution of Indian photography even in the international arena. Photography is a different art form because it's a mix of technique, technology & aesthetics & without technology; the full potential of photography can't be exploited." Subi Chaturvedi said.
The workshop is one of Canon's initiatives to promote photography as a form of art and expression. Canon over the years, has been conducting workshops around the country on various themes like wedding, sports, wildlife, etc. Canon is a leader in photography and offers exciting ways to enjoy photography and bring out the best creative skills in photo enthusiasts and professionals alike. The workshop received over whelming response from the photo journalists and Canon aims to organize such workshops even in future.

Ltd., a world leader in 2D and 3D design, engineering and entertainment software, today announced an Open Distribution network in India for its drafting and detailing software- AutoCAD LT 2012, a professional choice for data compatibility, reliability and 2D drafting productivity.
As part of the company's endeavor to expand the channel partner ecosystem, all Autodesk volume products, including AutoCAD LT 2012, will be sold through an Open Distribution network in India. Earlier, such products were only available to customers in India, through a network of contracted Autodesk authorized VARs, primarily operating in the top tier cities. However now, by opening up the distribution network, Autodesk has enabled resellers in upcountry markets to procure Autodesk volume products from key VAD's viz- Redington and Ingram Micro and take the Autodesk brand to tier II & III cities.
Commenting on Autodesk's strategy to broad base the availability of their volume products in India; Ajay Bagepalli, Director - Channels and Business Development, Autodesk India & SAARC, said, "This move is driven by the fact that rapid economic growth across Tier 2 and 3 cities merits a need for these products to be easily accessible to our customers across the country.

Ease of availability of AutoCAD LT will enable millions of designers, architects, manufacturers to imagine, design and create their ideas into reality in a more cost effective manner and with faster turnaround time.
