Wednesday 29th May - Club Night - Speaker - Bob Brind-Surch - Macro
Bob is a professional Zoologist and teacher, with over 50 years experience as a photographer. In 1977 he obtained a fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society with a piece of work on macro. Bob's talk will be very practical, he will demonstrate many Macro techniques and will bring along a great deal of macro equipment to demonstrate and discuss. Lighting macro shots is always a problem so he will spend some time exploring suitable options. He will also discuss and demonstrate techniques of particular value to macro photographers such as focus stacking.
