LAST MEETING
On 15th January, members enjoyed a talk by Jonathan Genevaux on Waterscapes:
Jonathan joined the meeting via ZOOM.
A professional landscape photographer with a specialism in waterscapes. For
the past 3 years, Jonathan has been working on a project photographing the waterscapes of the UK, from the intimate Scottish lochs to the cliff tops of Cornwall and Wales, as well as photographing waterscapes of his home region in South-West France.
In this talk, he shared his tips and techniques for landscape and waterscape photography from having a raw idea to editing the final images. Jonathan shared his process for preparing and planning the shoot using maps and online tools, understanding how the light plays with the landscape, analysing the weather forecast, finding a composition, and what camera settings and gear he uses.
A very valuable talk for those who wanted to get deeply involved in landscape and waterscape photography.

Our Annual Exhibition was on show at the Teddington Library until today, 17th February when it will be moved to the Hampton Library until 14th March.
