Very many thanks to Chris Hutchinson from Yateley Camera Club for his thought provoking talk on the way the human eye works at perception, with use of optical illusions, visual conventions and assumptions. There were diversions into colour-blindness, war memorials, ‘railwayana’ and interaction with the audience along the way. Brain, eye, mind and camera – food for thought!
Next week we are at Century for our Open and Portraits and People print competitions which will by judged by Amanda Wright, Ealing & Hampshire House camera club.
In the meantime have a good week and hope Autumn isn’t washed away completely!
Very many thanks to Martin for sharing his love of photography with us. Covering much of the UK, his infrared images were particularly successful, striking , atmospheric and beautiful. It was very refreshing to hear a judge of 24 years enthuse about shooting subject matter he likes rather than competitive images. Martin’s personable style made for a very interesting and enjoyable evening. You can view Martin’s work on the link below.
