James Bunn Lecture: The Power of Sport talk with Peter Milsom

Peter took up photography seriously in 2006 following 18 years of competitive athletics and coaching. His first efforts were directed at the sports events he was familiar with, and he gradually extended these to other sports including canoe slalom, jetski racing and various para sports.
Peter is on personal terms with many of the athletes, and provides photographs to help them improve their technique. His aim is to capture those special moments during the highs and lows of sport and the efforts and emotions shown in achieving a world class performance.
He is often granted media accreditation to major events which allow him to capture Images of world class athletes from the best vantage points.

Yosemite from the air and ground with Tom Lane

St Ives member Tom Lane worked in aviation and therefore spent a lot of time in “the big tin can at the top of the world”. He has also been passionate about photography since the mid-sixties and first started using Leica cameras in 1969. This talk covers his many trips to Yosemite National Park both from the ground and the air. You will find more information from his blogs here: https://www.macfilos.com/2019/11/22/camera-in-the-sky/ and https://www.macfilos.com/2020/01/24/yosemite-from-the-comfort-of-ground-level/.

Practical – Camera angle and focal lens selection

Jonathan will have 2 continuous lighting setups with backgrounds, so tripods would be a good idea, but he will bring a few spare ones if people let him know.
There will be a variety of subjects (saxophone, cine projector, action man and a nuts) which should allow 4 different shots.
Note that there will be no online meeting option for this event.
