10th December
Tenby’s presentation on the 10th December was a fascinating talk by Alun Richardson. Alun is a Pembrokeshire professional photographer, and an IFMGA mountain guide. Titled “Greenland and my journey to capture better images”, we were shown how much he loves wild, harsh and isolated places . His 8 day journey through Greenland in winter, by dog sleds, skis and boat was superbly illustrated with images and words bringing to life the beauty of this stark and remote terrain. Greenland is the world’s largest island with approximately 80% of it permanently covered in ice. You will find one of the world’s smallest populations in Greenland and they mainly live along the coasts.
Peppered throughout were many tips and advice how to deal with the cold, the winds. the snow, the ice and the risks of polar bear attacks. Yes , rifle at the ready as well as your camera !
Alun also talked about his favourite photographers who inspire him, and spent time advising on avoiding photography pitfalls, giving lots of encouragement too. He really emphasised that you should find your own way and style to enjoy your photography, not always copying what is fashionable or current. A very inspiring and influential presentation which rounded off this year’s talks admirably.
Wishing our members, followers and friends of Tenby Camera Club a safe and happy Christmas and a more normal and special New Year .
One more event to round off an exceptional series of talks and competitions for 2020 and that is The Christmas Zoom Party on the 17th December !
