What an evening and what a series of slides. Last night we saw
the best of Rosemary Calvert, she divided the evening into two
halves. The first flowers, macro and close-up work not only the
pictures but a few drops of the knowledge behind them. For the
second half we moved across the pond and were treated to a tour, the
length of America. Then on to the ends of the world, literally the
Arctic and the Antarctic and the islands. Add to this two short
audio-visual presentations made a packed evening. Many thanks to
Rosemary Calvert and good look for your future expeditions. |

Well... what a night. It's rare to
meet a photographer of such skill and talent but to be such an inspirational
speaker as well, it's hardly fair on the rest of us. Charlie's
ability to put across technical points and suggestions, that change
both the way you work and look at images, in such a relaxed and yet
passionate way that total engrossed the whole audience is
unbelievable. To then move on to look at some of his images, so many
that I've seen over the years and remembered without knowing the
author. If only my best work was as good as his mistakes. But all to
soon the evening was over.
Many thanks to the sponsors that
helped us put on the event, Astra Zeneca, Lee Filters, Transpacolour
and the Quality Hotel. Many thanks for all the people who put some
much time and effort in to organisation of the event. Thanks to all
that came along, but most of all many thanks to Charlie Waite both
for the evenings entertainment and for the enduring images he
produces.
