Creative Photography Zoom Presentation – November 12th 2024

Barbie Lindsay from Ipswich treated us to an entertaining and informative evening with a wide selection of images in her “Creative Photography” talk. She describes herself as a photographic obsessive who lives and thrives on the photographic medium and her world is seen through the eye of the lens. Her love of photography covers every genre and she judges and lectures nationally and internationally, as well as being a regular participant in exhibitions.

Creativity can range from taking a different perspective on popular photographic subjects, and how they are presented, to extensive manipulation using photo-editing software, where the imagination has free rein. Carefully prepared images straight from the camera were shown along with images that had been transformed using various software packages and a spectrum of props. Whilst the majority of images had been taken with a DSLR camera, Barbie also showed what could be achieved using a smartphone, some basic editing software and your imagination.

A healthy number of dpis were submitted and the Open category winner was ‘Mother Love’, a touching capture of a mongoose with her pup, and ‘Sandpiper and crab’ won the Animal Kingdom category.
