What an evening! A great talk – a real eye-opener – from a fascinating photographer.
Sue Hartley showed us a selection of her photos, many of which had won major awards. Her portraits, particularly, were incredible. Many of us learned a lot, particularly about post-production.
Our members also submitted some great – and very varied – images. Helen chose here favourite 5 images. All very different.
A worthy first place went to Martin. Great craftsmanship to keep the leaf razor sharp and the rushing water with just enough movement to convey the story.
MARTIN: A Leaf is Rescued
Dave Hodson: Marbled White Butterfly
I think this photo wowed us all. Dave’s marbled white is perfectly captured in profile on (possibly) a yellow pea flower.
SUE: Coming in to Land
Pin sharp eyes and features with a great sense of movement and lovely colour. Sue’s blackbird after rowan berries is a treat.
Chris: The Bothy
A quirky scene pictured at Elsham Hall in Lincolnshire.
Veronica: Mask
Stunning – that’s my opinion.
