Last night featured talks by Jeff, Chris & Mark on their top 20 images.
- Jeff talked us through his images, complete with the exif data, it was interesting how many images he had that I loved and judges didn't!
- Chris had a series of shots taken in New Zealand, London, Cumbria and his shed.
- Marks talk was a fascinating look at process and ways to achieve better images, he said it was part of a much longer talk and I am looking forward to that.
Thanks to Tony and David for doing the teas.

Message On behalf of Stevenage Photographic Society
We have a very special lecture from Antony Penrose, who will talk about the photographic life of his mother, Lee Miller. His talks have been highly recommended to us by members of photographic clubs in the Southern Counties region and as we're not aware of him having lectured in our area we think the talk may be of wider interest than our own membership.
Monday 21st October 2019, start time 7.45pm - 10pm.
'Backstage at the Lee Miller Archive' and 'The Legendary Lee Miller', by Antony Penrose.
Tickets can be purchased from the Stevenage PS website for £5 each.
Please visit stevenagephotographicsociety.org.uk for more information.
