Thursday Club Meeting
Next Thursday (11th June 2020) we have Julian Elliot,
Julian has been a professional landscape and travel photographer for 10 years. Having started writing for a number of British UK photography magazines, he started selling his work through the World renowned Getty Images. To date his work has sold in over 40 countries and he has travelled in over 30 countries capturing the world around him.
His talk describes Mongolia – From Steppe to Eagle Hunters. Journey from Mongolia’s capital to the Altai in the country’s far west. See how Julian’s journey in this vast country unfolded and hear how he captured the vast landscapes and the people that inhabit them. Watch how Julian switches between from being a landscape photographer to travel to sports when the talk finishes with a look at the Eagle Festival

Digital Skills Online Series

Affinity Photo has emerged as the main competitor to Photoshop at an incredibly low price point for lifetime software without the need to subscribe. Siddique is an educator (Photography, Cinema History, and IT) and a keen photographer with a lifelong passion for landscapes (combined with Hiking), urban settings, architecture, and Macro. You can download the 90-day free trial for Affinity Photo HERE.
