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
Discover the breathtaking beauty of Britain, from dramatic coastlines and rolling countryside, historic cities, charming villages and iconic landmarks. My travels around Beautiful Britain took me to stunning scenery and magical places, some with fascinating facts and plenty of pictures to support the variety of places visited in this remarkable and varied land.
I’ve been lucky enough to travel around this beautiful land over many years from the very south tip of Cornwall at Lands End to the far north of Scotland at John O’Groats and much in between. Duration 45-50 Minutes
CLOSE TO HOME
So often we take for granted the local area in which we live. When we start to explore as, I have done, our local area we can discover so much about the beautiful landscape, the history and the people. With this talk we’ll see some incredible landscape, explore the villages, towns & cities and also the people who have influenced our history, industrial heritage and much more. I hope this will inspire us all to look a little more at the things that surround us in our local area rather than let it pass us by. Duration 45-50 minutes
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)
This talk, My Hobby Photography, shares with you the story of this compelling hobby from my teenage years to the present day. Exploring the opportunities this hobby has given me to travel, as well as the enjoyment of taking a wide variety of pictures, including people, nature, buildings, sport and my favourite the landscape, capturing beautiful moments and memories. My hobby is not only fun, it also helps me relax, record my travels and meet interesting people. Duration 45-50 minutes
ACROSS CONTINENTS
Across the Continents is an opportunity to explore different countries, landscapes, cities, people & cultures. The journey takes us across the different continents of Asia, Oceana, North & South America, Europe. Travelling has been a privilege, an adventure as well as relaxation and education. I have come to appreciate the diversity of cultures, landscapes and most importantly the people. The talk is supported with pictures of iconic and lesser known locations.
Duration 45-50 minutes
DISCOVERING SCOTLAND
I can’t resist returning to the home of my Grandfather as often as possible. Perhaps that small amount of Scotland in my family history gives me the calling.
The fascinating journeys to the Highlands & Islands with their breathtaking landscapes, dramatic mountains and rugged coast make Scotland so captivating and a mecca for the mountaineer, hiker, fisherman and of course the photographer. Duration 45-50minutes
EXPLORING THE PEAK DISTRICT
The Peak District situated in Central England and the first National Park in the UK. Established in 1951. Millions of visitors flock to the park each year to enjoy the hiking, cycling, climbing, wildlife and of course the superb scenery. The Park and surrounding area played a major contribution to the industrial revolution in the 1700’s the remnants of which can be seen scattered around the park. I’ve been visiting the Peaks since a teenager and still visit as much as possible recording the beauty in pictures.
Duration 45-50 minutes
ENCHANTED EMERALD ISLE
Travelling along the Wild Atlantic Way and the Causeway Coast a journey of almost 2000 miles I was able to explore the magic, beauty and rich heritage of Ireland, with ancient castles and dramatic coastlines. The wonderful hospitable and friendly people made this a memorable adventure. the journey shared with pictures concluded with a few days in Belfast.
The contrast of Belfast from the remnants of the so called troubles to the celebration of the shipyards, renown for its building of the fated Titanic.
Join me as I share my adventure in the enchanted Isle of Ireland.
Duration 45-50 minutes
The Above talks are prepared for groups looking for talks lasting about 45 minutes. I will be bringing along a selection of greeting cards & pictures for sale. It would be helpful if attendees were made aware prior to the event.
IT'S JUST A HOBBY OR IS IT?
My talk explores how things we do for fun can become much more than hobbies. Creating opportunities for travel, making friends, socialising and sharing with others the result of our creativity. I learn’t some years ago not to take my photography too seriously, hence I do not subscribed to the various exhibitions and competitions, with the exception of my camera clubs own.
Photography is important to me and has been invaluable in the past few years, giving me an interest and distraction from the problems of life in general.
Duration 90 minutes/b]
