13th November 2012 - Wild Bird Photography, Melvin Holmes

Another well attended meeting!  Melvin described his approach to wild bird photography which he has perfected over many years.  The photos he used to illustrate his technical tips demonstrated just what can be achieved when you are in control of your camera settings to obtain perfect exposure and focus.  Melvin shared with us some of his favourite locations for bird photography.  Being in the right place at the right time is the result of much research and a large amount of patience.  

Three of Melvin's images can be seen below.
