Extreme close-up photography.
The talk will display recent wildlife projects that demand modified techniques with magnification from macro (1:1) to x30 and beyond. The projects include 2 mm-long parasitic wasps and other tiny insects, as well as parts of more well-known species. For five years, I have been looking at the beautiful marine worms along our coast. Many are just a few millimetres in length and lead complex and varied lives. The talk will be illustrated with a variety of photos of these and many other species across the spectrum.

Andy Leslie
Street Life
Andy has judged at our club on many occasions, where we have found him to be fair, knowledgeable, and engaging, as he worked his way through prints and digital images provided by our members. One of his favourite quotes is by Ansel Adams, “There are no rules for good photographs, only good photographs” which I am sure we will hear more about on the evening. I believe this will be the first time Andy has come to our club as a presenter, so let’s give him a warm welcome as Andy will show us examples of his own work and that of other well-known historic figures such as Vivienne Maier. He will be opening up discussions on the broader subject of street photography, and depending on the engagement on the night, Andy might well show some of his wildlife captures in the second half if time allows.
