Abhishek Asthana
Abhishek Asthana is a coder by profession, which lets me make sufficient money to buy a lens once in a while and sponsor my vacations. He started photography during his school days with a small manual camera which didn’t have flash. Later he started experimenting with monochrome films, since he didn’t have scanner or much idea about editing of photos this experiment was quite limited in nature. He took photography seriously only after leaving college and got his first digital camera, an Olympus FE10 which was followed by Sony DSC H7 super zoom. His first and only DSLR is Nikon D3000 with a recently bought Sigma 18-200 mm lens. He tried hand at bird photography (with a Nikon 80-400 mm lens) and quite enjoyed it too and He thinks He does not have any particular genre that he can tag his photography with but he enjoy shooting life, people and common everyday happenings around us most. Apart from photography he likes adventure activities, trekking and volunteering. He is co-founder of http://DonateYourPC.in, a website that lets people donate their old PCs/peripherals to charities/schools in India.

Kamalesh Das
Kamalesh Das is a 30 years old school teacher, who was born and brought up in the beautiful city of Cooch behar, west bengal, India. It is a small yet prosperous city in the foothill of Bhutan and Himalayan mountain region. He started photography after joining his service. At that time he used to take photographs of his family gatherings and some of his travel. One day he saw a DSLR of his friend, took few photographs by it, and then he took the decision of buying a DSLR of his own. It was Nikon’s D40. He took major photographs with it. From landscape to macro from portraits to composition work, he tried every genre of photography with it. Quite a few yrs ago he upgraded to Nikon’s D90.
Kamalesh travels a lot within his country. He believes that there is huge space in working in India and there is no use of going abroad. What he sees through his eyes, he tries to frame it in his camera. Till today he used to see good photos and recharge his energy for good work. Every click in his shutter is a new for him as his past experience gets challenge over there. So he always tries to think different to get new.
