Malcolm Hupman from Corby Photographic Club gave us a presentation entitled “Where I photograph in Great Britain” and had kindly stepped in at short notice. His talk comprised over 300 images taken at a wide range of locations across the length and breadth of Great Britain and was supported with informative and interesting key background details for each location. Starting in his home county of Northamptonshire, Malcolm shared the many locations visited which included stately homes, canals, nature reservoirs, rivers and reservoirs to name but a few.

He then took us on a whistle stop tour around the Home Counties, East Anglia, the South West, North East, Wales, Scotland and the Lake District which was a favourite area and portrayed by many landscapes taken in all the weather conditions that this area encounters. In addition to the informative narrative, Malcolm’s powerpoint slides each included file information on the camera equipment and settings used. A range of cameras had been used from a mobile phone to a point and shoot compact to DSLRs with a variety of mainly short focal length lenses to capture as much of the scene as possible. Some post-processing was done  to improve the colour and sharpen images.

By the end of the evening it really felt like we had been taken on a tour of some of the most scenic locations in Great Britain and undoubtedly a number of places and images will have been familiar to the audience. Hopefully visiting some new and attractive photographic areas will have been stimulated by the talk.
