Newton Abbot Camera Club

I was made very welcome at the Newton Abbot Camera Club. A good crowd of 45 members turned up on a stormy night for my presentation of my 'constructive' working practice. Fairly quiet at first they listened quite patiently, perhaps not too sure of what to make of these 'landscapes' which were far removed from their usual experience. However I'm always happy with questions and once one had been asked the audience became far more vocal. They were very pleased to see so many images from the wild North Devon coast, less than 1.5 hours drive from Newton Abbot but so often off their radar. So pleased in fact that they're already planning a photo-trip up here!
The venue in Newton Abbot has a wonderfully big, ceiling mounted, projection screen which made my images look their best. I was kitted out with a neck mic as the hall was so large, but I must have been speaking for so long that it's battery died so you see me here with a huge wireless mic.
