At our last meeting we had:
- a long presentation from the Iceland trip made by members of the Outdoor Group (Peter W and Linda, Mark and Marianne, Judith and Gerry, Gia and me). I know we in the group enjoyed it and I hope others did too. Iceland is a great place for landscape. I'm not sure that it is beautiful but its certainly dramatic. Conditions were often harsh with the wind and cold which made photography difficult most of the time. But difficult conditions can make great photographs. Altogether a great experience and I think we all came back with images we were pleased with.
- Over recent years Peter Whitehead has walked 'the Salt Path' from Minehead, across the northern coast of Devon and Cornwall, down to Lands End and along the southern coastline ending in Poole, Dorset (630 miles in total). Peter's photos looked gentle enough but the walk had its strenuous moments with significant rises and falls each day. Lovely photos.
- Finally David Thomas gave us a very comprehensive and professional review of the iPhone14Pro. What a powerhouse - 45 mp. and the detail shown in the photos was surely a match for any 'proper' camera. It seems that camera phones have decimated the market for compact zooms, sales down 97% from their peak. Who would buy a compact zoom nowadays (actually, me - I've just bought one!) Thank you David for putting so much detail in your review.
Next meeting
The next ESIG will be on Tuesday 28th Feb. I have two talks lined up so far. Brian will tell us about his Bronze medal success at the International Garden Photographer of the Year and I have an unusual photographer I'd like to share with you.
But I need another one or two speakers, so please don't be shy. Also let me have your images for the Portfolio session. I'll be carrying over some images from last time that we didn't have time to discuss.
