In the recent days, we all are more accustomed in using our phone for photos than DSLR camera’s. Hence, Mr. Muthuraman will be sharing loads of ideas and tips on how to click a perfect picture using your own phones and some light on how to use the DSLR camera’s in more efficient way.

This session is planned for July the 18th at 16.00. Zoom invite and log in details was shared closer to time. – https://www.facebook.com/Londonnagarathars/videos/567610370936468/

The response from our own LNS members and general audience right from the start of the competition, the photography workshop was extraordinary. The number of likes the pictures received are mind blowing.

Through this we have identified several professional creative photographers in the adult section who can guide our brilliant Teen photographers and who in turn can guide the upcoming child photographers. 

For Teen and child category, we would like to mention a special thanks to all parents as without their support and encouragement our next generation wouldn’t have participated in this competition.


Thanks again for your participation and support for LNS Nagarathar Sangam.

Kind regards,

Chella (Chellappan Palaniappan)
