By the Sea
Our coast is the spectacular wild edge of Britain. Fulfilling the tremendous photographic potential of beaches, cliffs, sea stacks, natural arches, lighthouses and castles requires effective use of seasonal light and tides. Photographic techniques discussed include different shutter speeds, high dynamic range, stitching panoramas and capturing storms.
Each talk comprises approximately 150 high definition images and comfortably fills a two hour programme (inclusive of a 20 minute break midway).
I bring my own high definition digital projector. All my talks focus on showing great images as well as explaining the thinking and planning that went into them.
The fee per talk is £120, plus travel charged from Avebury at 45p/mile. All my presentations are also available by video link using Zoom, at the same fee with no travel cost.
To book please contact me.

What People Are Saying
“On behalf of all of us at WPC, thank you for a wonderful presentation yesterday evening. It was a great pleasure to welcome you back, in person, to our Club. You showed us a magnificent portfolio of images, and we appreciated your explanations of how you determined the exact time, and state of the tide, in order to obtain the image you set out to achieve. We were all impressed! I hope we will see you again before too long.”
— Keith McEwan, Programme Secretary, Wallingford Photo Club
"Thank you very much on behalf of all Southampton members for your wonderful presentation last Monday. I know we were all enthralled with "By the Sea" and your amazing images. Members said it was one of the best talks they've seen. Your knowledge of where and when to go depending on the season and time and tide is exemplary."
— Roger Creber, Programme Secretary, Southampton Camera Club
“Thank you very much for a fantastic talk yesterday ... I have watched many such talks from the RPS and Gray’s (I’m Nikon). None has even approached what we were treated to yesterday. The images were stunning and you gave so much detail and advice – it was an inspiring two hours”
— TW, RPS Western Region
"It was an excellent evening and we enjoyed your many great images. You introduced us to a number of innovative approaches to by the sea photography, especially the much photographed scenes. I particularly liked your Durdle Door panoramas. Whether I have the energy to research, plan and travel to the extent you do is a different matter! … We look forward to further talks from you in the future."
— Peter Perkins, Chairman, Portishead Camera Club
“I have watched quite a few Zoom sessions organised by the RPS over the past year or so and this one was by far the best and most useful I have seen..”
— GG, Guernsey, RPS Western Region
"Thank you very much for presenting your talk over zoom yesterday evening. I know the membership enjoyed the evening as did I. Great images and great detail. Often speakers don't explain how the images are taken and the setting used. This made your talk stand out and lifted the lid on the knowledge, commitment and techniques needed."
