31st January
Many thanks to Gill Mackay for an excellent presentation tonight, 22 members braved the weather, and were treated to a very entertaining and interesting evening, Gill started by giving us an insight into the The Ironman event held in Pembrokeshire, one of the most popular Ironman venues in the UK, mainly because of the welcome the spectators give the contestants and our beautiful surroundings.
Gill outlined her day, crammed with photographing all three of the disciplines. Starting at 7am with the Swimming event, explaining the difficulties of getting in the right place to get the best shot, then the cycle race, getting into the best advantage point to capture the most interesting shots, and then getting back to the finish line to record those exhausted Athletes with elation on their faces, they have finished.
Gill’s photos of the Ironman story over the years have won her many accolades for the quality of her work, both technical and aesthetically and have been accepted in lots of prestigious salons, gaining her many distinctions.
After the break, Gill continued to entertain us by showing her expertise in Street Photography, with her prize winning images from around Europe, including Portugal, Croatia and many others.
A very interesting event, thought provoking, inspirational and encouraging us to get out there and take photographs.
Thank you Gill we all enjoyed the evening, and thank you Alistair for running the projection.
