8th May: Leigh Woolford: Mostly Motor Racing
Tenby & District Camera Club welcomed Leigh Woolford for our penultimate meeting of the 24/25 season. His talk was entitled Mostly Motor Racing – over 40 years of trying to photograph things going fast.
Leigh started in the 1980’s watching motor racing before taking up photography, he described himself as a racing fan with a camera. His early photographic competition entries were low scoring, but he was soon on the podium winning awards. His photographs varied from cars to drivers, and from hill climbs to Formula 1 Grand Prix. His photographs included images from many racing circuits in the UK, and also the opulence of Grand Prix tracks such as Monaco. Leigh showed us the slow shutter speeds used in his camera to obtain sharp images of the high-speed cars.
The talk was mostly motor racing, but Leigh also showed images of trips to the Canadian Rockies, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands.
An unusual topic for club but most appreciated.
