Winter Photography

Winter light, frost, floods and snow present great challenges and opportunities for outdoor photography. Images of winter in Britain, Yellowstone and Arctic Norway show landscapes transformed, wildlife spectacles unfold and capture the elusive beauty of the aurora borealis.

Robert came to our club a couple of years ago and gave a really great talk, that got a whole lot of praise; so welcome back Robert.

Here is Robert explaining about his photography;

As a Chartered Natural Scientist and Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, I travel extensively photographing landscapes and wildlife. I am particularly inspired by coasts and deserts, where untamed land is sculpted by natural elements. In the last few years I am fortunate to have photographed birds and mammals in several of the world’s most renowned wildlife destinations such as Yellowstone, Serengeti, Pantanal, Galapagos and Falklands.

I live just a few miles from the World Heritage Site of Avebury and many favourite images have been taken in my own county of Wiltshire, where our ancient past resonates through the landscape. I seek to bring a strong seasonal theme to my images, making use of different light and colours throughout the year. My photographic schedule is often dictated by sunrise, sunset, moon, tides and weather. When at home, I maintain a garden on the Marlborough Downs that my wife Sarah and I have created over the last 12 years.

Over 200 of my images have been accepted in international photographic exhibitions, I give around 30 lectures per year and lead photography tours throughout Britain.
