Photography - tutorials

The staff at Gurjarvani has returned from Vadodara after conducting a 15 days media training. I found that we cannot give anything substantial in 15 days. So I am collecting tutorials on photography and posting them on my personal blog.
I invite any one interested in training oneself in photography can use the tutorials. They are well done.
