Originally photography was a hobby for Oliver but following a mountaineering accident he transferred the passion to photography, especially wildlife and macro.

 After four years of developing his photography skills he decided it was time for a career change and became a full-time photographer.  In November 2014 he joined a team in Northern Sweden specialising in Aurora photography Lights Over Lapland, fantastic wildlife, pristine arctic landscapes and the macro views of the amazing ice formations. His wildlife photography has done extremely well in the British Wildlife...

Paul’s lifelong passions lie outdoors: mountaineering and birding. Retirement has enabled him to indulge his passion further and to re-live and share his interests through talks.

The first part is about travels amongst the rich and varied wildlife of St Lucia Wetlands and Kruger National Parks. The second half covers his leg-stretching adventures in the dramatic Drakensberg mountains.

 This will be very interesting and has the benefit that you can watch in your own home with a cup of tea or similar.

John is a professional commercial, portrait and beauty photographer based in Wakefield who covers the whole of Yorkshire and beyond. His wealth of experience and talent ensures images of the highest quality and creativity.  We have had the pleasure of seeing John’s work at the club before so we are in for a great evening.

Stephanie will again lead It's a knock-out which was a fun evening last season.

 Please send 3 PDIs to Celia by 29th October. We are trying PDIs to make it easier to see, and less costly to produce. The aim is to display two images at a time slowly reducing as members reject one until we get to the final 3 who will win a prize.
