Thanks to Andrew Hersom, F4 Photographic Group, West Hull for his Zoom talk covering his travels some years ago to China during his business life.  As such, he frequently had to improvise with whichever camera he had to hand,  limited choice of viewpoint, weather conditions and time constraints etc.  This quote by Tony Worobiec FRPS seemed to encompass his mantra ‘Take it while it grabs your attention.  You might never come back”.   We had a tour of Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Jingshan Park, Hutong Neighbourhood, Summer Palace, Olympic Village, The Great Wall, Ming Tombs, China Aviation Museum before a whistle stop in Shanghai Expo and Financial Centre.  Unfortunately many of the accompanying images were not the best quality but the highlight of the talk was definitely those depicting the Great Wall, portraying not only its magnitude but also haunting atmospheric lighting and mountain recessions.  Perhaps one day……….

Back down to earth next week at Century for our Monochrome and Open Print competitions which will be judged by Amanda Wright, Ealing and Hampshire House.All Posts

In the meantime have a very good week.
