60 YEARS WITH UPP – A RETROSPECTVE
I joined UPP in 1963, and it soon became a very important part of my life. I was a pretty raw beginner in those days, but my membership of UPP was a huge factor in improving my skills. Of course, everything was done in the darkroom then, but some 40 years later, I commenced my digital journey and had to learn this new way of making images. My darkroom experience proved invaluable and when producing my images on the computer, I tried to emulate the techniques I had used in the darkroom. In particular, this was the use of tonal controls to enhance the mood of a landscape and this remains an essential part of my workflow.
In this talk, I will be showing you images from my earliest days up until the present time. My ‘style’ has changed little over the past 60 years - it is only the means of creating my images that is different.

Working with Wildlife
Challenging yet rewarding, Wildlife photography will push you to your limits and test even the most determined of individuals. This talk goes through some of my experiences, both good and bad and how I work to develop an extensive and varied portfolio in challenging situations, both in the UK and further afield.
