Around the World
(Virtually)
At the club last week we had an engaging talk from Paul Radden. Both Paul and his wife Shirley have been long-standing members of our club until they moved up to Norfolk last year. This new virtual world that we now frequent, has again given us the opportunity to experience other people's photographic adventures in the comfort of our homes.
Paul and Shirley have travelled the world and it was stimulating to see the images of the US National Parks, Iceland and closer to home in the UK (to name just three countries featured). And to hear the stories behind the taking of the images; certainly the two of them covered many miles in the United States, sometimes using quite exotic purpose-built vehicles.
The second half of Paul's talk gave us an insight into gaining distinctions in the various photographic organisations - to learn about what is required by the Federation Internationale de L'art Photographique (FIAP) to gain their distinctions was fascinating.
Thank you Paul and best wishes in your new(ish) home
