\n<\/a>Welcome once again to our monthly focus one of our Society members.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For November 2018 we talk to Warren Strickland<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi Warren!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Can you tell us what first got you interested in photography?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My parents always encouraged me to take <\/span>photos when I was younger<\/span> but <\/span>it<\/span> was when I served in the Royal Navy that I started to take more<\/span> of an interest in photography.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Before buying my first DSLR I spent a lot of time watching YouTube<\/span>\u00a0videos on how to use it.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What type of photographs do you most enjoy taking?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Candid portraits<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and <\/span>live<\/span> mu<\/span>sic photography are my favourites<\/span>,<\/span> as<\/span> they are<\/span> a challenge<\/span>,<\/span> especially <\/span>when <\/span>in low light<\/span>ing conditions<\/span> with the <\/span>ever-changing<\/span> colours of stage lighting,<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m delighted that<\/span> one of my images has just been used on <\/span>the back of an album cover. I\u2019ve also had my<\/span>\u00a0images in various publications and will have a go at all types of photography. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What type of photographic equipment do you use?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Canon 5D MARK<\/span> 2 and a Canon 600D <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Canon 85mm<\/span> & 50mm<\/span> F1.8 and a <\/span>Tamron<\/span> SP 17-50 F2.8<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Can you identify some photographers that have inspired you?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Gavin <\/span>Hoey;<\/span> he has some great instructional videos on social media and<\/span> I <\/span>draw a lot of inspiration from my fellow club members\u2019 photography.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Can you show us a selection of your photographs each with a short explanatory paragraph ; what inspired you to take the photograph or process it in the way you have?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
I\u2019m particularly proud of the above two photographs\u00a0<\/span>as they won m<\/span>e the Rugby Calendar Competition<\/span>\u00a0twice.<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I then <\/span>joined the <\/span>Dunchurch<\/span> Photographic Society and <\/span>it\u2019s<\/span> all <\/span>gone downhill from there!<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ed: \u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong>But don\u2019t worry Warren, we won\u2019t hold you entirely responsible! \u00a0 \ud83d\ude09\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

This photograph was taken of my friend Ian and was one of my first attempts at off-camera flash using a len<\/span>s kindly lent to me by another member of the Society.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was<\/span> recently<\/span> taken at Fistral Beach<\/span>. I went a bit mad with the clone tool, but I like it!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve just <\/span>purchased a fish tank and am trying my hand at some splash <\/span>photography. this<\/span>\u00a0was one of my first attempts<\/span>
\n<\/a><\/em>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

How do you see your photography developing in the future?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Who knows! I\u2019ll see where it takes me! Time is a valuable commodity having two young children!<\/em><\/p>\n

Great stuff! Thanks Warren!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Looks like your photography is making a \u2018splash\u2019 in more ways than one!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
