This Friday we welcome Wayne Brittle from Burton-on-Trent https://www.waynebrittlephotography.com/index.html with his lecture “Another Time, Another Place.” Wayne is an accomplished Landscape Photographer and I’m sure that we will see some excellent work on Friday night. Wayne is also an ambassador for NiSi filters.
