We recently had a presentation by Overton-based wildlife photographer Deb Heath, on 'An Overton Safari', much enjoyed by members. Her pictured showed you do not have to travel far to see wild animals!
Attached is a list of her 'Do's and Don'ts' whilst photographing local wildlife which may be useful!

A talk by our Ian Wallace on ‘Zines’

Ian Wallace will give us an introduction to zines — what they are and the opportunities they bring to get your work seen without incurring a lot of expense and hassle.
He’ll talk about his experiences of producing them (some will remember having seen some examples at previous meetings) and give us a few practical tips to guide us if we feel like experimenting with them. He’ll also bring along some examples from his collection for us to view, and promises a few practical exercises to be undertaken during the tea break!

Time permitting, we’ll finish the evening with a swift run-through of the remainder of the images people submitted to January’s ‘Our Three Favourite Images from 2025’ review — those that we didn’t get time to view at that meeting. They nevertheless deserve to be seen and enjoyed.
