At the outset, on behalf of the Team Beyond Shotz, I would like to express my gratitude to all the subscribers/readers for giving the magazine a warm reception. Over five thousand downloads in the very first month is quite an achievement by any standards. The most encouraging aspect of all this was the attitude of the subscribers towards this magazine. We recieved several mails and telephone calls telling us that they want to be active participants and contribute to Beyond Shotz magazine. Thank you! You have driven away all our doubts and we promise to take this magazine to greater heights.

In this issue, we bring you a very interesting article on "The Art and Science of Bird Photography" authored by Sudhir Shivram. Sudhir is a well known face in the Indian wildlife circle and when contacted, he immediately obliged. I am sure the story fascinates birders and non - birders alike.

There is another special feature, "Migrant Workers - a different perspective" written by a talented young artist Sandip Debnath. This is featured under a new section called "Beyond Shotz Special". This section will be exclusively dedicated for documentary photography.

Mr. Anand Sharan, a well known photographer, is a familiar name for all shutterbugs in Bangalore. He is our featured artist of the month.

We have brought out many other new features - Travel feature, equipment review by the subscribers called "My Gear" in this issue. There are regular features too, City Watch, Artist Showcase, Gallery and BSB Photo of the Week. We hope you will enjoy the package.

We also have a vastly enhanced design of the magazine and it now features links to the web sites directly from within the magazine. So, go ahead and click them.

Please continue to give your valuable feedback to
beyondshots@gmail.com, with your support we both can make this magazine better.
