12th Meeting of the Season<\/strong><\/p>

With our chairperson Mark Ellis away enjoying a well-deserved holiday, it was our secretary, David Bray<\/strong>, who stepped up to welcome members and introduce our guest speaker for the evening, Richard Cobbey<\/strong>. His presentation, \u201cMoments In Time,\u201d<\/em> proved to be an engaging journey through a lifetime of image-making.<\/p>

Richard opened his talk with a charming look back at the very first photograph he ever captured on a Box Brownie<\/strong>, a reminder of how humble beginnings can spark a lifelong passion. From there, he guided us through decades of photographic exploration and development, sharing both the images and the stories behind them.<\/p>

Throughout the evening, we travelled with Richard to a variety of evocative locations \u2013 Venice<\/strong>, Le Mans<\/strong>, Provence<\/strong>, Brighton<\/strong>, and more. Each destination came with its own set of visual delights, from atmospheric street scenes to striking motorsport moments and beautifully observed landscapes.<\/p>

What made the talk particularly insightful was Richard\u2019s willingness to explain the creative thought processes<\/strong> behind many of his award-winning images. He discussed composition, timing, and how he approaches a scene to draw out not just what it looks like, but what it feels<\/em> like. His reflections offered plenty of inspiration for photographers of all levels.<\/p>

Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking evening, and we extend our thanks to Richard for sharing his work and experiences with us\u2014and to David for hosting in Mark\u2019s absence.<\/p>

We look forward to seeing everyone at our next meeting!<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/article>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
