    Richmond Park

    Hi I’m planning to go to Richmond Park London on Sunday 22nd October to try and photograph the red deer as it is in the middle of the rutting season and if we can get there around 0730 when daylight breaks we may get the mist assuming we can find the deer. I’ve attached a guide that you may find useful,  https://www.simonwilkes.co.uk/blog/a-guide-to-photographing-richmond-park/      My thoughts are that it’s best to take a couple of cars to minimise the cost. We should also be able to get some great autumn shots plus anything we see with a pulse (non-human) like birds, squirrels, or even gorillas :). I’ll add to Facebook as well…

    Polina Plotnikova 10/02/2022

    Starting from a blank canvas What a wonderful presentation by Polina! Starting from a blank canvas Polina took us through her sources of inspiration for flower photography in her art background and how she then translates this into stunning home studio images. It was interesting that Polina says she endeavours to make portraits of flowers rather than botanical studies, using a similar lighting set up as would be used for portrait photography. Seeking to portray narrative through a series of images rather than produce single images, Polina nevertheless showed us stunning images every one of which I would class as one that could stand alone. From flower portraits to still…
