LOCATION: In person at The Bell Inn
Presentation by Glyn Edmunds: Kenya Photo Safari
A talk on wildlife by Glyn Edmunds showing many different species in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy and elsewhere in Kenya.
Glyn describes himself as a wildlife photographer at heart but also a generalist. His favourite is African wildlife, which his talk tonight will focus on.
He will show us a large number of images showing many of the species in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Lake Bogoria and the Masai Mara National Parks, including Wildebeest crossing the Mara River.
His work is highly rated by Clubs who have seen his pictures, so this should be a great evening!
Glynn will be giving his talk online via Zoom. Members and non-members will be in- person in The Bell; non-members have the option to be online via Zoom.

LAST Events
Wednesday 15th June 2022
Presentation by Daniel Bridge: Dan’s Top Ten Tips
Dan talked through and showed images for his top ten tips for taking good photographs. Although some of his tips were known to some of us, his overall message was to think both about the composition of the image and the settings on the camera.
Saturday 19th July 2022
Photowalk in Bushy Park
We had a very enjoyable walk despite the hot sun; there were a number of trees to provide temporary respite. We saw and photographed deer wading in the river, birds on the lakes, butterflies and a very obliging Heron in the river. We were also able to photograph people enjoying the summer’s day in the park.
If you got some good images on this photowqalk, please email them to Gokhan to put on the website publicity@hamptonhillps.org.uk
