2nd April:    “Exploring wildlife photography” by Bob Brind-Surch

Bob is a very experienced wildlife photographer who has visited us several times before and who runs a number of wildlife tours both in this country and Africa.  He will illustrate the talk with photos taken both in the UK and in East Africa and seek to demonstrate, wherever possible, the techniques and skills used. He will bring along examples of the equipment and ‘tools’ he has come to rely on over the years.

 

9th April:    “Victorian and Edwardian photography” by Brian Ferry

This is the rescheduled evening with Brian Ferry, who will be giving an illustrated talk on the early history of photography.  Brian says “Then, there were no TIFFs but there were plenty of tiffs, such as the controversy about whether or not photography was Art, led by Lady Elizabeth Eastlake, an artist and art critic who adamantly wrote ‘NO’, and she was the wife of the first President of the London Photographic Society which became the RPS (imagine the pillow-talk!) ”
