22nd April

The last but not least speaker for the 2020/21 season was Oliver Wright who enthralled us with his exceptional images and interesting talk. Yorkshire based, Oliver became a professional photographer in 2014, his work takes him around the world, specialising in wildlife, macro, adventure and landscape photography.
He spent time illustrating his aurora photography, representing “Lights over Lapland” as a guide , based in Abisko, Northern Sweden during the autumn & winter. Fantastic colours in the sky in all sorts of weather, snow, ice & mist & pristine arctic landscapes. While illustrating the a wealth of wildlife and macro shots of astonishing ice formations, Oliver kept our attention with tales of his wild camping, Arctic style.
After a break, Oliver talked about his own unique style of photography, using handheld focus stacking. The photographs of all manner of insects and birds were stunning in their detail. Horse and robber flies, jumping spiders, dragonflies captured naturally in the wild, even covered in dew. Videos of photographic techniques were very useful. He related how he spent a great deal of time successfully capturing the breath of a wren. Such patience. Tenby members were mesmerised with every image. Certainly worth having a look at Oliver’s website .
