MEETING 20.01.22

An excellent  Zoom talk by James Rushforth, the travel, landscape and extreme sport photographer, allowed us to wander the Italian Dolomites and Iceland from our own homes as the Covid uncertainty continues.  His photography amazed us, whether through memorable images taken while hanging from or skiing down severe mountainsides, exploring ice caves or capturing stunning light in both familiar and unfamiliar landscapes.  Plus a sprinkling of nature shots for good measure!  

James has published well regarded books on the Dolomites and Iceland - a must for when we feel able to get out there again!  If not climbing, there is always walking!  Check him out:

Our next meeting: 

A face-to-face in our usual meeting place to check out places closer to home; including member's presentations on York and Pembrokeshire

MEETING 06.01.22

After being Covid-careful over Christmas, the Club decided to revert to Zoom meetings for a while until there are more encouraging signs that social mixing is safe.   So the first thing on the Zoom agenda was a journey via images from a shoot last Summer which took four members around (1) the older part of central Bristol with its intriguing mix of beautiful architecture, graffiti and youthful activities; (2) the harbourside with its striking graphic shapes of cranes and plenty of boats; (3) and the newer Millenium Square area, a great space for nighttime fun.  Plus Clifton Suspension Bridge for good measure!  A small selection is shown below.

The second part of the evening brought us up to December 2021 with a review of members' images taken as the variable weather allowed.  Plus a reminder about our good fortune in having clean water in this country.
