‘Power and Poise’ was the title of Tuesday evening’s meeting,
this was a lecture by our guest Steve Proctor DPAGB BPE5* a
member of both Chorley and Ribblesdale camera clubs.
After discussing his early interest in photography up to the
present day, Steve gave us details of the various cameras and
lenses which he has used for his many superb images.
Steve then showed us images from his portfolio which covered
numerous subjects including some exceptional historical and
costume images followed by macro and wildlife shots.
The main subject ‘Power and Poise’ itself was up next, this
covered mainly sporting and dance images.
‘Power’ gave us some well captured athletic shots with
competitors in, high jump, long jump, pole vaulting and hurdles
it was during this section that Steve showed us the best focusing
settings he used to capture fast moving athletes.
‘Poise’ came next with emphasis on the grace, poise, elegance
and balance of the dancers as they created many dynamic shapes.
More images of artistic models came next followed by tennis,
cricket and local football shots.
Steve ended his excellent lecture by discussing the merits of
mirrorless cameras, his own being a Canon R5.
