Thu 16 May 2024 - Bill Ward - In Search Of...

7:30pm

He has spent much of the last seven years exploring the abandoned landscapes of America, the bitter cold elemental landscapes of winter in Hokkaido, Japan, and the vastness and grandeur of the granite spires of Yellow Mountain in China.

Thu 26 Oct 2023 - Phil Cooling FRPS - Weird and Wonderful…ish presentation

7:30pm

My early work is dreadful....I took anything & everything and then threw the Photoshop kitchen sink at them to add impact. I quickly got through this phase and began to produce images that won club competitions and gained entry to International Salons.
