RPS Rollrights Visual Art Group talk (24th November 2018)

I gave this daytime talk at this RPS regional group. The Village Hall, Long Compton. Review of my talk (excerpt) from Barry Barker FRPS:

It was particularly interesting to see the worked examples of some images. He showed us his test images to illustrate how he came upon the best viewpoint and camera settings for a Lake District shot, then took us through the post processing – pretty minimal as you’d expect with such meticulous attention to detail at the taking stage. Likewise, an example from his Iceland set – just small tweaks of tone and slight vignetting. A late evening shot of Durdle Door on the Jurassic Coast required more work to extract shadow detail, but again this was made easier (possible) by the care and precision at the shooting stage. His last worked example, a very minimalist shot of trees in Iceland, summed up Nathan’s approach – to capture what is there, to emphasise what is important, and to show it at its best.
