Dave has sent me a message to pass on to you ahead of his talk next Tuesday, and has very kindly offered you to contact him beforehand too! Here is what he sent:
Dear All,
I’ve given this short paragraph or two to Adam to post on the facebook and message boards to say a quick ‘Hi’ and introduce a little of what I’m planning.
I’m going to be talking about my wildlife photography, but not just the animals; I’m hoping I can tell you a little about everything from preparation to post production, telephoto to macro and sunrise to sunset. Unless I can wrestle this leopard into my hand-luggage I won’t be able to give a live demonstration of wildlife photography, but I will be bringing some of my equipment along to illustrate some of the techniques I use out in the bush.
There will be plenty of time for Q&A in the evening, but if anyone has any questions in advance they’d like me to consider or any pictures from my website www.wisemonkeys.com they’d like me to comment on, please drop me a mail to dave@wisemonkeys.com or my facebook account and I’ll see what I can fit in.
See you all next Tuesday!
