With a concert on at Snape Maltings and the consequent likely parking problems, it has been decided to hold the photoshoot at Woodbridge. We plan to meet at Woodbridge Railway Station at 18:30. Members can proceed alone or buddy up with someone else if they don’t know Woodbridge well.
There is plenty to see and photograph such as the town itself and the historic Tide Mill, River Deben and boatyards. One of the ‘gems’ in Suffolk’s crown, Woodbridge combines excellent shops with superb pubs and restaurants and numerous activities both indoors and out. On the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Woodbridge is the perfect base from which to explore the Suffolk Coast and its many tourist attractions.
Local photographer and writer, Richard Allenby-Pratt, will be leading the photoshoot and he will help us observe and better record the things we see with our cameras and smartphones. Richard has won international awards and exhibited his work globally. Closer to home, Richard leads The Suffolk Project, a study of the East Anglia landscape and its people so he is very well acquainted with the unique and fragile beauty of this coastal area.
We are pleased to announce that this month we will welcome to our meeting local photographer Lucy Kayne. Lucy has previously presented sessions on photo editing and how to seek beauty in the every day. She has also led photo walks to Covehithe and Staverton Thicks for our members. Lucy’s talk this time will centre around using the smartphone to explore things like focus, light and composition and how these elements relate to our knowledge of DSLRs. There may also be time at the end of her session for people to practice their skills if they wish.
