TENBY
AND DISTRICT CAMERA CLUB
Club members were entertained on Thursday’s
club night 27th March with the images by Mr Allen Lloyd ARPS, AWPF.
Allen who lives near Chepstow travels to Pembrokeshire frequently for his
nature and landscape projects, he is no stranger to the club he was with us in
April 2012.
Tonight’s topics were Yellowstone Park
– winter and spring, a snapshot of bird photography, visit to Nepal 2012 and
finally landscapes – round and about Gwent 2014.
Allen has spent approximately 18 weeks
shooting images in Yellowstone over the past
few years at different times of the year. In the winter with temperatures -30c
the landscapes and geysers take on a completely different form to that of the
spring when all the vibrant colours of the iron ore and calcium deposits can be
seen.
The images illustrated the vastness and
beauty of this National Park in America ,
nestled quietly beneath the Rocky Mountains .
The images brought us to the Tetons Region where Allen photographed Bald
Eagles, Elk, Bob Cats, Wolves, Trumpetor Swans and Bison.
The landscape images showed waterfalls, Snake River , Tangle Creek, the geysers in the upper
geyser basin. Before the break Allen showed members images of birds and the
variations of style of shooting not just ‘birds on a stick’. This snapshot of
bird photography certainly gave members many ideas for future projects.
Allen continued following a coffee break with
images of Grizzly Bears, all taken at the Grizzly Bear Discovery Centre
entitled ‘Grizzlies in the Snow’. This was followed by his visit to Nepal in 2012
where he in his own words ‘Was out of my comfort zone taking images of people’.
To complete his talk and presentation Allen gave us a landscape tour around
Gwent, the Severn Estuary, unusual views of the Severn Bridge
and the same views but taken winter and spring, summer.
The chairman thanked Allen for his very
professional presentation.
