I went on an Astro-Landscape photo tour with the Exposure in 2022. We covered Sangalila National Park.The overall experience was amazing. Before the tour, my Astro-Landscape knowledge was ZERO. Post the trip, I can say that I learnt a lot from our mentors Mrinmay and Rajat. They are amazing. It's not only about their knowledge in the field but most importantly, how eager they are to share their knowledge with others. Starting from shooting techniques, composition tips till post processing and creating the end product.And the best part is, it doesn't end there, we are getting lifetime post processing support for our Astro-Landscapes. Infact, we can easily reach out to the mentors for tips, suggestions as well as post processing help for photos we click elsewhere. The learning doesn't end at the workshop. It continues.Leaving aside photography, the hospitality, team bonding was amazing. Overall, it was an experience which I will cherish for the rest of my life.I would like to thank team Exposure for such a wonderful experience.Singalila Astro-Landscape Workshop

Thanks to you for giving me an opportunity for a written review about your workshop. I have participated in 2 workshops , one in Singalila & 2nd in Spiti. The logistic support of workshops was fantastic. Mentors are knowledgeable and helpful. Field work and Post processing support are very good. I hope in future it will be better more. Hope for light pollution-free sky.I am sharing some work of mine along with a profile picture. 

I attended the Astro landscape workshop at Singalila National Park in October 2022. The workshop was conducted by Rajat Malakar and Mrinmay Nayek.I came to know of this workshop though Mrinmay Nayek’s photos on Instagram and signed up for it. What went well: Right from the beginning, both Rajat and Mrinmay were extremely forthcoming in answering my questions about the workshop. They guided me about what sort of cameras and lenses and tripods would be helpful. Once the workshop started, they handled the coaching with a lot of professionalism. It started with Apratim Das, who is the head of Exposure, giving an overview of photography and gear. His knowledge on the subject is vast and amazing and it was a joy to see his passion for all things related to photography. This continued with the mentors giving us an overview of astro photography and then guiding us at every step of the tour. Right from the composition to camera settings to the processing of photos at the end, both mentors covered everything thoroughly and professionally. They are still conducting follow up classes and even give 1-1 sessions if required to help with post processing and doubts. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and have immense respect for the mentors – their knowledge, patience, and dedication. I saw some of the best views in the world and made some of the most beautiful memories and photos of my life.What could have been better: I was the only woman photographer in the group. I was treated with extreme respect and did not face too much difficulties. However, I would have preferred having better accommodation/more privacy in some of the places we stayed at.Will I do another workshop with Exposure if the chance arises: Yes!Singalila Astro-Landscape Workshop

First of all I have attended 3 workshops (so far) conducted by Exposure. First in Oct 2021, second in Oct 2022 and then in June 2023. All are Astro-Landscape workshops conducted by Rajat Malakar and Mrinmay Nayak. My experience in these workshops has been terrific. They are both extremely helpful and hardworking. They make sure we get good shots if the weather permits. Their planning and guidance are also very commendable. The amount of time they follow up with post-processing sessions after the workshop is not done anywhere else.I met Apratim Saha once in Exposure - The School of Photography in Siliguri. It was a pleasure to talk to him and hear his immense experience, and gain knowledge. Hopefully, I will get to contribute to Exposure as a photographer in future some day.Zanskar Astro-Landscape Workshop

A 5-Day Astrolandscape Photography Tour in the Singalila National Park led by Rajat Malakar and Mrinmay Nayak from the Exposure - The School of Photography team gave me immense pleasure and a great experience. I have clicked amazing star trails and the Milky Way Photographs. I had great learning experiences along with the extreme conditions in the least light-polluted places in the country. Thanks to Rajat Dada and Mrinmay Dada once again. I am looking forward to continuing the association in further too.Singalila Astro-Landscape Workshop
