It’s often said that travel broadens the mind – it can certainly add interest to your photography! Rod Bird, from photographic training company Electric Landscape, proved from his talk that you can achieve great photography not only from “ far “ ( in this case Iceland ) but also “ near “ – the Chilterns AONB. The first half of the evening was consisted of (mostly ) monochrome prints taken during several visits to Iceland. As a keen walker, he was able to take us to many parts which are not always visited by package tourists, not least because he and his walking companion usually lived under canvas during their stays – this was partly to enable them to reach the remoter areas of the island and partly due to the high cost of everything in Iceland! The skilfully produced black and white images showed us the dramatic and changing landscapes of Iceland.
In almost complete contrast, during the second half of the evening Rod showed us images, again largely in monochrome, taken around the area of the Chilterns. He admitted he found the area totally inspiring, even after having lived in Maidenhead for several years! He encouraged members to make the effort to visit the area which is not, after all, too far away, in particular Burnham Beeches during Autumn which in his opinion rivalled New England in the “ fall “.
