Black and White Photography

Direct from Katoomba, Australia, via Zoom, our guest speaker will be Peter Hill, an award winning black and white photographer. Although many of his awards are in landscape and nature, he shoots in a wide range of genres including abstracts, street, architecture, portraits, etc.

Peter’s presentation will focus on aspects of black and white photography that are different from colour photography whilst you are shooting, i.e. getting it right in-camera. He will demonstrate his thoughts on shooting in B&W with examples by various photographers, including Ansel Adams, Wynn Bullock, and Max Dupain, and, of course, some of his own work.

If time permits he will also give a brief explanation of his processing techniques.

Member Image Share & Critique Night
2021-11-01 19:30 - 21:30 | ONLINE
Influential Photographer Spotlight: NASA – Hubble Telescope
“… Which brings me to the Hubble Space Telescope’s newest images. If it’s wonder that you’re looking for, and mystery, don’t just scan the photographs. Stop and think about them. Try to imagine the scale. The Earth is just a speck of dust on one distant whirling tentacle of the Milky Way galaxy, which contains billions of stars. A ‘collision’ of galaxies seems unimaginably large – and yet it is something scientists long ago imagined… The imaginings of pseudoscience are feeble by comparison.” – Mark Bowden
