Pamela Bruce-Lockhart’s photographic skills continue to grow and develop year on year, and her member’s evening on Thursday illustrated the extent of her considerable expertise in a range of genres perfectly. She travels to far flung places regularly in search of her first love, animals in the wild, but a number of mishaps in recent months have prevented a much anticipated trip to Brazil, and stopped her from even lifting her camera f due to a broken wrist. Nevertheless the first half of her presentation featured a trip to India in search of tigers and did not disappoint.

Impressed with modern facilities at the airport and in Delhi, Pamela journeyed into the interior to be further impressed by the extent of her guides’ concern for animal welfare, but was not quite as enthusiastic about the amount of curry she was expected to eat! Her beautiful photos, of tigers in particular, were accompanied by a wealth of information that she freely shared about this endangered species, but she also applied her considerable camera skills to capture the birdlife there, including Kingfishers and Fishing Owls as well as Eagles and Cockerels. There were some stunning images that left us wanting more.
After the break it was a trip to a more local London that held our attention and illustrated just how much Pamela has benefitted from the tuition she seeks regularly from experts in abstract street photography, and the practice she gets in places like Wells Cathedral. We thoroughly enjoyed a set of visual delights depicting the streets of the capital, both in familiar form, from on high, and at lower levels through unusual angles and details that only Pamela sees!
Members were really impressed at the quality of the mono images in particular that played with light and shadow, line and texture, and teased with shutter speeds. It really was a good presentation and we look forward to seeing more of Pamela’s work in the future.
Next week we look forward to visiting judge Doug Lodge’s opinions on our October Open Print Competition that we know has a strong entry.
