Mike Caithness - Topic to be confirmed
Mike’s passion in photography is to find and see abstract or unusual images in the landscape or city. He is based in Edinburgh and is a past president of Edinburgh Photographic Society. He also has galleries of images on Flickr, 500px and Getty Images and is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS). His talk tonight was meant to be on focus stacking, a topic that sparked interest during last season’s Zoom meetings. However, Mike thinks that this might not be suitable for a Zoom meeting so he will present something more suitable for that environment. Meanwhile, here’s a link to Mike’s website where you can view some stunning images in his gallery: https://www.michaelcaithness.photography/home . |

Kieran Metcalfe - "Taming the Chaos"
By day, Kieran describes himself as a 40-something, freelance graphic designer - while being self-employed has many benefits, it inevitably leads to him spending most, if not all, of the day at home - mainly in one room. In the last year or so, he has found that photography provides an excellent remedy for cabin-fever - when work pressures are high, you can't beat getting out into the fresh air and the stillness of the countryside. He believes that having camera with you certainly focuses your attention on what is around you, rather than the busyness of the day. When he finds and takes the time to look, he finds the natural world to be full of wonder, from awe-inspiring vistas, to delicate details, and these are the images which he feels capture that best. Tonight, Kieran looks at the technical and compositional elements of landscape photography. Here’s a link to Kieran’s website for more info: https://kieranmetcalfephotography.co.uk/
