A welcome return to the club for Steve Hedges who received excellent feedback for his photographic lecture last year on Cityscape and Night Photography.
This time Steve focuses on how to create an image that really has the ‘wow’ factor. An image with impact and mood. He will show a series of before-and-after pictures with the after picture being a big improvement over the before picture. He finds this really emphasises the importance of thinking about what you want to achieve before you hit the shutter release. He will then move on to talk about the thought process behind creating a great picture and the various techniques to help achieve that aim.

Club member Malcolm and his wife Leigh aren't ones for chasing the sun and their travels have therefore taken them to cooler climes. Tonight their images will compare and contrast the wildlife and landscape to be found in the regions beyond the 50th parallels north and south, including the Antarctic, Arctic and other areas.

A miscellany of digital imagery, tips & ideas – we will explore the basics and how to get the best out of your camera – before looking at the fine line amid reality, invention and trickery in photography with the advances made in Digital Imaging and Post Production software.

Concentrating on the British coastline, this talk shows how photography is used to record changes in our environment, to depict humour, enjoy natural history or create art for the walls etc. The images show a wide variety of different camera techniques and lenses and how different processing and printing techniques can transform images. Above all, it suggests good locations that anyone can visit and enjoy.

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.
