28th March

This evening there was a presentation by the club's two Phils, Phil Male and Phil Selby, on their trip to Finland to photograph bears.

A certain amount of dedication was required, with both of them needing to sleep in hides overnight.  Most of the bear images were captured in twilight, using "horribly high ISO".

Pam Bamford gave a shout out to Horizon 22, a free venue in the centre of London, which gives commanding views of the city.  It is free, but is ticketed entry only. It is best booked on the day, in person, since advance tickets tend to be unavailable for up to three weeks before.  The website is here.

Our next meeting will be on 11th April.
