If you have a passion or interest in photography and you're local to Wokingham, why not come along just to give it a go? We have some great talks coming up from some really interesting speakers too!

Wokingham Photography Club is delighted to welcome Simon Weir to talk at the Club on Thursday, 7th March 2024 about Yellowstone in Black, White and Infrared.

In his own words:

“This cold weather adventure tells the story of Yellowstone National Park in the dead of winter. It combines a touch a history and geology of Yellowstone, with infrared landscape and B&W wildlife images. It also includes a short multi-media piece about the Yellowstone bison, as well as a conservation film on the role of wolves in the Yellowstone ecosystem.”

The talk promises to be full of anecdotes about the realities of shooting in temperatures as low as -30 degrees C and will be a highly entertaining evening for photographers of all levels.

You can find out more about Simon's work by visiting his website at www.simonweir.com
