Duncan McEwan: “Special Brew””
Don’t miss!
It is a real pleasure to welcome the renowned Scottish landscape and natural history photographer Duncan McEwan to the club this Thursday. Duncan is also a popular judge, lecturer and leader of photographic holidays and workshops. He is a Sony Advocate Photographer, using Sony Alpha DSLRs and Sony Alpha Carl Zeiss lenses.
“Special Brew” explores how to make effective use of colour, light and composition across a whole range of subjects.
So highly regarded is Duncan, we have had to make this a members only night because of the risk of over-crowding the hall.
