The person booked to lecture at the St Neots and District Camera Club last night had to cancel, and a last minute replacement was drafted in. I think we were lucky that Paul Beastall an accomplished wildlife photographer was able to fill the gap at short notice as this was one of the best lectures we have had.
His topic was photography at zoo's, and went through everything from the locations of zoos and safari parks, to framing shots, animal behavior, shooting angles etc etc, so this wasn't a pointless procession of images but the images were used to illustrate what he was talking about.
Not to say that the images weren't good as they were excellent, very diverse in subject and technique and you would not know they were taken at a zoo. He also included his mistakes to show us how he got round problems.
One of the better evenings!!
