This Friday we welcome Chris Palmer FRPS, EFIAP, DPAGB, APAGB https://www.chrispalmerphotographer.co.uk from Amersham Photographic Society http://www.amershamphotosoc.com with his online talk “The Eloquent Landscape.” Chris says, "The title is primarily a reference to my experience when working in the landscape, to the connection I sense and feel with the natural world around me, and the elements within it. They speak to me. Through my photography I would hope that my images also communicate with the viewer too. The talk embraces four sections, with significant content taken in Iceland, and much closer to home on Stoke Common."
Visitors are welcome to join the talk for £3.50. Booking is through Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-eloquent-landscape-by-chris-palmer-frps-efiap-dpagb-apagb-tickets-162712251725
On Friday 23 July Colin Westgate FRPS, DPAGB, APAGB presents "Expressive Landscape via Zoom. Colin is a member of Colchester Photographic Society https://colchesterphotosoc.co.uk/index.html and is part of Quest Photography https://www.questphoto.co.uk Colin says of his talk, "A camera will record very capably what is in front of it, but cannot record what the photographer feels. This talk explores methods of interpretation that enhance the raw content of the literal capture and transform it into something special."
Friday 23 July is also the hand in deadline for the finals PDI competition. You can enter up to 4 images. If there are too many images entered overall then image No. 4 will be removed from all entrants.
