Presentations
Below is a catalogue of my current presentations. Using pictures taken over the past 20+ years both in the UK and further afield. Each presentation has a planned duration of approximately 45 minutes, unless otherwise stated
I have been giving talks to Women's Institute, Probes, Luncheon Clubs, Lady's Circles, Afternoon Tea Clubs, Railway Societies and Photography Clubs, plus many more for a number of years and enjoy sharing my stories and experience's of my travels, supported by my photographs.
BEAUTIFUL BRITAIN
Britain has a wide diversity of beautiful landscapes, coast and many interesting and varied cities, towns and villages. I've been privileged to explore many areas throughout Britain and I share these journeys with you in pictures and with interesting notes and anecdotes. We'll travel from the tip of Cornwall to the far north of Scotland.
ON MY DOORSTEP
We all like to travel further afield either within in the United Kingdom or around Europe or other parts of the world. Sometimes this is at the expense of neglecting places of beauty & interest on our doorstep. This Presentation illustrates, through pictures and dialogue, locations within 30 minutes of my home in North West Leicestershire including, North Leicestershire, South Derbyshire, East Staffordshire and South West Nottinghamshire.
KEY STEPS TO IMPROVING YOUR PICTURES
On our trips both locally and further a field we take pictures to remind us of the experience. In the Camera, Smart phone or Tablet they look great only to disappoint on returning home. This talk will help you construct pictures you’re happy with. THIS TALK IS CONSTRUCTED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE NON SPECIALIST PHOTOGRAPHER.
MY HOBBY PHOTOGRAPHY (A reason to Travel & More)
My Hobby Photography, explores a collection of pictures taken over the past 20+years. Concentrating on pictures taken throughout the United Kingdom and as far away as Australia & New Zealand. In recent years I have expanded my interest from my beloved photographs of the countryside, coast ,cities , towns & villages to include other genres and i"ll be sharing some of these
during the presentation.
A CANADIAN JOURNEY
The journey takes us initially to the city of Toronto prior to visiting Niagara Falls. We then visit Vancouver and Vancouver Island before embarking on a road trip through the national & provincial parks of British Columbia and Alberta, a journey which takes us down the incredible Icefield Parkway. Ending in the tranquil Waterton National Park before our journey 's end.
ACROSS AUSTRALIA
The journey across Australia starts with a short stop over in Singapore before arriving in the Western Australian city of Perth. We then move on to the Red Centre and the iconic Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Alice Springs. After travelling to Adelaide the long journey to Sydney takes us along the Great Ocean Road via, Melbourne and Canberra. Come and explore and relive memories if you've visited or perhaps encourage you to make the trip.
LAND OF THE LONG WHITE CLOUD
Home of the indiginous Maori people from where the title originates, the presentation takes us through the North & South Islands. In the North we visit the geothermal activity parks and see the devastating effect it had on the town of Napier. Moving to the South Island we explore the wonderful Southern Alps including Milford Sound, Mount Cook and Franz Joseph Glacier. A country of contrasts with exceptional beauty.
BONNIE SCOTLAND
Packed with some of the most stunning scenery in the UK, Scotlands Highlands & Islands offer wild coastlines and pristine beaches to rolling valleys and towering mountains, plus some historic cities. The pictures in the presentation take you through the landscape including the NC500 drive to the Outer Hebrides and much between.
PEAK DISTRICT WANDERINGS
Britains first national park, opened in 1951, it sits in the centre of Britain and contains a varied landscape, packed with history and heavily involved with the industrial revolution. it's landscape ranges from high moorland to deep valleys and is a haven for walking, climbing and other outdoor pursuits. I've wondered the Peak District for many years and love to share my journey with others.
