Street photography is experiencing a resurgence in popularity where clever compositions, bold colours and deep shadows provide eye-catching scenes waiting to be captured.

Dave is an award winning photographer, and this presentation on street photography is sure to inspire us to try more of this genre of photography.

If, like Claire, you find summer landscape photography in the UK less than inspiring then there is always the option to chase winter and head south. Patagonia is a dream destination with steppes, mountains and glaciers to discover. Claire's talk explores locations and wildlife on the Argentinian side of Patagonia and includes an AVI of the El Chalten region which includes the mighty Fitz Roy Massif. She provides information that would help any adventurous traveller to consider a self guided trip. Winter has weather challenges, but in her experience it is ideal if you like pristine landscapes all to yourself and enjoy wildlife as well as landscape photography and is far easier than you may think.

Up to four projected pictorial images per member. A guest PAGB judge will give a critical appraisal of each image.
