Last night I had the greatest pleasure of presenting some of our work to the Princes Risborough Photographic Society.
We’ve been asked to do quite a few talks and presentations this year and I have to admit I love doing them! Can’t help myself: a room full of interested or, at least, captive photographers is always going to bring out the worst in me!
So, I talked through everything we do, showed some slideshows, described what we do, tried to antagonise traditionalists and generally laughed my way through two hours of experiences and anecdotes.
These things are always just a little daunting as the collective knowledge in any good photographic society (and these guys are good – they’ve just won the Chiltern Camera Clubs print competition and having seen their prints I can absolutely see why!) dwarfs what any one person can know but, I am happy to say, they were pretty gentle with me (even the Canon users) and I think – or at least hope – everyone enjoyed it!
So a HUGE thank you to everyone who came to hear my idle musings – I had an absolute ball and loved every minute of it and I really hope it was at least a little useful 
I am now thoroughly looking forward to the next presentation for the Metropolitan Police Photographic Society!
Cheers

A great evening Paul
You demonstrated you have another skill in addition to your Photography. They needs a new Speaker for the House of Commons!

Thanks Steve. Sadly, though, I don’t have a second home, a moat or a duck house (though goodness knows how I’ve survived so long without one!) so I guess I would never qualify
I’m glad everyone seemed to enjoy the evening as much as I enjoyed meeting everyone. Nice (and hugely talented) group of photographers!
