Photographers from the city, region, and neighbouring states made a beeline for Subbalakshmi Kalyana Mandapam in New Colony to ogle at the collection of equipment on display there.

The three-day photography exhibition that commenced on Tuesday had everything a professional photographer or videographer wanted.

There are on display cameras, video-cameras, lens, and accessories such as battery packs, studio equipment, and professional printers, among others.

On Wednesday, while there were many who were curious to try the range of professional DSLRs from Sony, there were a few who were interested in the software available for making DVDs and albums.

The collection was a veritable delight for studio owners, who found it difficult to address the varied interests of the customers.

There were crowds at counters offering printers that can emboss photos on coffee mugs, pen stands, pens, identity cards, cellphone covers, school belts, among others.

Then there were counters displaying the Jimmys that had become popular in the coverage of public events, allowing the cameraman to remotely control the video camera to get aerial shots of public events.

There were on display the four-legged drone cameras that had been used in a number of public meetings like the recent YSRCP meeting at Idupulapaya or the TDP Mahanadu.

The drone can do a 15-minute flight on a set of three batteries and the remote control has joysticks for controlling its motion and there is another switch for controlling the camera.

More than 30 of the 50-odd counters at the exhibition were chock-a-block with professional photographers trying their hand at the equipment and understand the intricacies involved.
