Hello everybody – for those who made yesterday’s meeting, I hope you enjoyed the ‘Images of Antarctica’ by Mark Randall I personally thought this was very interesting from both a photographic aspect as well as more generally.
I have attached the slide deck from yesterday that includes tags for the next meeting – which will be on Wednesday 11th October – this includes details of tags to be used for phot submissions. The website will be updated with this information in due course’
