In a recent communication to the editor it was intimated that it is not right and proper for a magazine to 

publish pictures and articles without paying the person submitting them. It is apparently considered 

unprofessional and unfair to professional writers and photographers. 

While the editor considers this to be a fair and reasonable statement in regard to those magazines and 

periodicals that charge the reader for the privilege of reading their pages, it is worth remembering that this 

magazine is currently free. 

It is designed to showcase the non-professional alongside the professionals who want to inspire others. 

Their return on this investment is exposure to an audience that simply can not afford to pay for 

subscriptions, (especially for magazines that are 70% advertising), and the knowledge that beginners can 

learn and be encouraged to participate. 

We encourage the non-professional to submit pictures and write articles, ordinary, unassuming people 

who would never be considered for mainstream magazines because they are ‘unknown’, and we will 

continue along that path for as long as we have the support. 

We will not pay for articles or submissions, but will welcome them. By the same token, we will not charge 

you to read this magazine. 

One final note, have you ever wondered how a photographer becomes ‘known’, or how much money they 

spend to achieve that status? While many are great, more are great in their own eyes only, and many more 

are as good as or better than the great. 


Architectural Wonders - A Study in Greyscale 

Pictures by Alan Griffiths 

When we look at buildings, I wonder how many of us 

think ‘Boring’. 

Of course much of our modern architecture is just that, 

boring, comprising a brick or concrete box with a door 

and a few windows. 

It is interesting to see that when we pulled this study 

together, there was only these images of a modern 

building. 

Even these have the ‘old’ tucked away in the background. 

Looking at the older buildings we see a much greater variety of style 

and structure, and even the materials from which they are 

constructed. All of these elements combine to create interest in the 

view. 

When we visit cities we tend to 

aim the lens to the mega 

structures, keeping the nearby 

buildings as low key as possible, 

but are we right? 

We can challenge the traditional 

as in the pictures of York Minster 

and St Pauls Cathedral. 

By using the local buildings we 

get a better sense of the area, and 

also the desire to see more of the 

main building. 

York Minster 

St Pauls by Alan Griffiths 


While we often dislike the weather, it 

can play an important part in the 

construction of a photograph. 

A right sort of cloud cover in the sky, 

coupled with the angle and foreground 

contrast, and of course the careful 

framing of the scene, creates a dramatic 

greyscale image 

When viewed in colour these ‘chocolate 

box’ or ‘jigsaw puzzle’ images are still 

powerful, but the tonal quality of the 

greyscale lends the drama. 

Home by Alan Griffiths 

Reflection plays a part in most images, whether it is in a river or puddle, 

or even a vehicle windscreen. 

We have two different examples of 

how reflections can be used in 

Durham Massey and the power 

station. 

Another point of interest is raised by 

these last three images, is that the 

buildings, while the main subject, 

do not need to fill the frame. 

The area around the main subject is 

often as important as the subject 

itself. It puts the building in context 

and can often provide the visual 

story that goes with it. 

Power Station by Alan Griffiths 

Dunham Massey by Alan Griffiths 

The lighting plays an important part 

in any picture, architecture is no 

different. 

We can change the depth of colour, and even invert it during post 

processing. Most packages have the means to change almost anything, but 

how valid the end result is down to you and the care you take. Sometimes, 

the natural lighting works in your favour by creating the desired effect 

when the picture is taken. 

What ever the style you adopt in the picture, it is worth remembering that 

different subjects work in different ways and by experimenting with the 

different styles you will get the image that stands out from the crowd.

The Empire Great Yarmouth 


There are numerous streams and brooks in the 

Ardennes. Sawe, Statte, Getzbach, Soor, Helle, 

Ninlingspo, Polleur, Hoegne, Spohrbach, Steinbach, 

Eisernbach to name a few. 

There are even (origins of) rivers (Ambleve, 

Berwinne, Ruhr) in these Ardennes. The French 

names are from the western regions, the German 

names are found in the Eastern regions. 

This time we look at a few of these streams. Often 

you have to plan your trip carefully, you must know 

where you can cross these waters. 

There are bridges, but in the past, some of the 

bridges were washed away by the rising water after 

the winter season. 

You must know the second crossing point. The 

bridges that will be up, are made of stone and 

concrete. The next bridge is often quite a distance 

away though… 

Large parts of the Ardennes are being of have 

already been stripped of trees. They were often firs, 

these trees never liked the acid environment. 

The Netherlands, Ardennes, 

Part 3, streams and brooks. 

By Paul Weijenberg 

Second problem with all those trees: they drank all 

the rain, left too little for the fresh water lakes that 

are the source for drinking water in East Belgium. 

When the trees were gone, sooner than expected, the 

water came back and fed once again the streams, 

ending in the lakes. 

Some 10 years ago, this stream held so little water, 

that you could easily step over it. It had no 

significance for walks through this terrain. 

Nowadays it is a real barrier. 


Many steams carry metal, red indicates iron, hence 

the name Eisernbach. Most streams in the Ardennes 

carry iron, and have red water. Eau Rouge tells it all. 


The water descents from around 600 m to 300 m 

altitude. All the time, little brooks become streams 

and streams become rivers. 

Some lakes are deeper than you would think. 

Below the Helle and the Ambleve downstream. 

Early spring, or the end of the winter is best to see 

the water flow. Most images here are made for 

march to early may. 

Downstream the water flows slower, causing algae 

to grow on the stones. 


In this area, most of the trees in the higher regions 

will vanish, to favour the water level in the streams. 

For wanderers this is beneficial too, you can look 

over much greater distances ahead. Most of the trees 

you see in the next image are gone now, but here 

you can see how obstructed the view is. In the 

Ardennes, it is good to check your map all the time, 

you just have to know exactly where you are at all 

times. 

There are brooks that carry little water all year. 

Next time is the last visit to this vast area of the 

Ardennes. From where I live, it takes a drive of just 

30 minutes to this area, so I hike here frequently. 

Paul. 


Street scene photography is just what it states on 

the label. It is those images we take on the 

highways and byways that pass through our cities, 

towns and villages. 

They can encompass everything from vehicles and 

traffic to children playing to people working. It 

shows life on the streets and the rubbish and 

dereliction we leave behind. It presents the old 

and the new through the eyes of the photographer. 

There is a crossover, the discussion is ongoing as to 

what is street scene and what is a cityscape. Both can 

include people and buildings, but for me, cityscape 

shows the overview of the scene while the street scene 

shows the life of the street. 

Street scene photography is not about passing 

judgement, it is about presenting what is there in the 

most powerful or descriptive way possible, but without 

bias. 

Boy by Karim Ahmed 

It does not matter if the image is the urchin standing 

beside the rubbish on the street or the Queen in the 

royal coach. 


Sometimes you do not even have to 

see the whole person or scene to 

convey the message. 

It happens that when presented in the 

proper way and carefully framed, the 

most powerful messages are created 

by the simplest of concepts. 

Like all images, and probably more 

so, the street scene image must tell the 

story, and it is down to the person 

behind the camera to ensure that the 

story is told within the frame. 

Struggle by Karim Ahmed 


Of course in our modern society 

we also have streets going 

underground. 

Here care must be taken as most 

undergrounds are private 

property, and that includes the 

metro. 

Most of the time nothing will be 

said so long as you are not 

causing obstruction or a 

nuisance. 

I would certainly seek 

permission if you want to try it 

in the rush hour. 

Above ground anything goes so long as you do not step onto 

private property to take the picture. This includes 

those buildings with the grassed or 

parking areas to the 

front adjacent to the 

footpath. Step on those 

at your peril as most are 

private property, and 

sooner or later some 

jobsworth will challenge 

you. 

In London, as is probably 

the case in most cities, there 

are buildings that, although it 

is perfectly legal to take the 

pictures of, you will be 

challenged when doing so, 

often by people carrying guns. 

My advise is simple, when you 

see a gun toting police officer 

standing in the street, tell them 

what you are doing and why 

before you begin. 

They can not stop you, but they 

may chose to accompany you while 

you take the pictures. 

The area around the cenotaph is a good place in point, Having spoken to a police officer at one end of the 

street, he was still beside me at the other. Not every day you get an armed guard when taking pictures. They 

also have another aspect to their work in that some of them actually know quite a lot about the buildings 

they are guarding and, if they are in a good mood, will often tell you about them. 


The rule of never presenting people in a bad light applies equally to street scene 

as to any other form of photography. Treat subjects in a respectful manner and 

present them in a way you would not be unhappy about in presenting yourself. 

Remember also not to impose on their space. 

As with any photography, take care of your equipment, know what and who is 

around you (they may be watching for an opportunity), stay away from 

unsavoury areas, watch for traffic. 

Above all, enjoy the day (or 

night), stay safe, and if you are in 

any doubt about the area you 

want to visit, take some mates 

with you.

They were abandoned here 

in the Namibian desert by 

man after their services 

were no longer required 

for military use. Simply 

they were left in a 

hostile environment by 

hostile people who 

had no interest in 

their survival. 

While mindful of the fact that 

we have included these wild 

horses in past issues, the work 

of those trying to ensure their 

survival is, like most 

conservation projects, filled 

w i t h t r i a l s a n d 

disappointments. 

Some of these are man made 

while others are the result of natural events. 

The plight of these horses is a mixture of both. 

Against the odds, they did 

survive, roaming the desert in search 

of food and water, they have adapted to the harsh 

conditions that prevail in this hostile part of the world. 


Their numbers remain small, 

only a few hundred in the 

herd, and how they have 

survived is still something of 

a mystery. 

Now they are being helped, 

not because they are 

incapable, but because of the 

drought that holds their world 

in its grip. 

Man provides salt licks 

which, although cheap, can 

sustain the herd when 

there is no food around 

for them. 

The resilience of the horses is a treat 

to see . In spite of their arid 

landscape, they are, or at least 

appear, happy to be free, enjoying 

dust baths seems to be the favourite 

past time. 


Olinda Nr Recife Brazil 

Do you like “Panos” but think you need expensive 

equipment to shoot them? 

I have found that this is not true. All you need is a 

digital camera and a copy of a basic photo editing 

programme that will merge your shots. 

I use Photoshop Elements 13. My Olympus software 

does also work but I have to remember to put the 

camera in Panoramic mode before clicking. 

 

 

 

 

Hold the camera in portrait not landscape 

orientation 

Scan from left to right to check what the 

camera sees and the horizon 

Zoom in a bit to get closer to a further view 

Zoom back if to close, or step back if possible 

It is true that you can buy a panoramic head for your 

tripod and set up to get the perfect shots, but this is 

more expensive and you have to carry it around. 

OK if you have planned your shoot specifically but 

not so easy on a whim. 

My method suits impatient people like me. Usually I 

see the ‘view’ when I’m travelling on my holidays. I 

like to travel light so often I’m just carrying my 

Olympus OMD EM-5 Mk II with the 14-150mm 

lens. I have other kit but it gets left in the car, room 

or at home. Daft I know but .... 

 

 

 

 

 

Golden Gate Bridge 

Hold up your left hand in L shape as a pre 

marker for shot 1 

Start at the left of the scene and get the focus 

and Click 

Holding the horizon steady in the viewer move 

50% right and Click 

Keep going ‘til you’ve got it all in the camera 

Hold up your right hand in reverse L to mark 

the end of the sequence 

So, you’re walking along looking for birds or a 

flower or something and a view pops up. Here’s 

what I do: 

It’s surprising how many images will stitch together 

successfully in Photoshop Elements. One of my 

Uluru panos is 16 shots and the Olgas one is 14. 


Wye bridge at Builth Wells 

Sometimes the stitching gives strange edges, 

especially if the images are a little out of line. Using 

the crop tool to crop inside these edges will give you 

a clean picture. 

I shoot lots of these, they don’t always work but hey 

its digital, it cost nothing to delete them, except a 

little time. Often they work very well and make 

great pictures you can put on your wall, and no one 

else has the same ones. 

Pitcairn Sunset 

If you are used to a little editing try cloning in bits 

of the sky that are missing. If the perspective is 

wrong try one of the different presets in the 

Panorama menu, again if you are up to it use the 

Image - Transform- Distort adjustment. 

Grab the corners of the image with the mouse 

pointer and pull them apart, upwards or any which 

way to distort the view into what you need. You will 

have created many layers so now go to Layer – 

Flatten Image and click to produce a JPEG image 

that you can use as normal. 

If you can’t print them check out Photobox, or one 

of the other on line photo printers. There are lots out 

there. Often their software can help improve your 

image. 

A really special photograph can look amazing 

enlarged to say 1500mm (5’) wide. I have bought 

MDF, cut it to size and just stuck the print on it, or 

stuck it to the back of a good quality Perspex sheet 

to mount on the wall at a minimum cost. 


A lower cost option is foamboard which comes in 

Black or White which you can easily cut to size, its 

available in most hobby / craft shops. 

There is also panoramic photo paper on sale 59.4 

cm x 21cm if you have your own A3 printer. Crop 

your image to this size and just print but change 

your paper size in the Elements and your printer’s 

menu. 

Go out and try it. Even if you don’t print them they 

look great on a modern wide screen TV. A slide 

show of panos looks very impressive. 

Here are a few of mine. Let me know what you 

think, just post and tag me on our Facebook site.

The underwater world of Sabah Reef is threatened by development and irresponsible tourism. Here is just a 

glimpse of the fragile beauty that may soon disappear. 



A Study in Nature 

Wildlife of America - Snow Geese by Larry Hitchins 

The snow goose (Chen caerulescens) is a North 

American species of goose. Its name derives from 

its white plumage. It breeds north of the arctic 

timberline and spends winters in places between 

British Columbia and Mexico. 

Note of interest: Every time I have seen a picture of 

this bird, they are all flying from right to left. Ed. 


Animals With Attitude 

by Gordon 

When I first met the Amur Leopards at the Cat 

Survival Trust in Welwyn, I was greeted by the 

smiling face (right), they were very aggressive , and 

I could not blame them. 

Once they realised I was not going away and that I 

was not intimidated by the sharp claws, teeth and 

attitude, and after a short discussion, they calmed 

down. 

I would not say we are the best of friends, and after 

five years, I still get the same greeting, until they 

remember my scent, then they calm down. 

They have even been known to ‘talk’ rather than 

growl and snarl, I have no idea what they are 

talking about, but at least they make the effort. 

I have had the privilege of stroking the fur of these 

beautiful cats during their quieter days and still 

retain my hands. 

Would I want to meet one outside the wire? Not on 

your life, they are still fur covered killing machines 

no matter how cute they may be. 

Gordon 

I still get the feeling of Déjà vu every time I meet 

them, The initial greeting is always the same but 

soon changes. 


New York, New York 

Pictures by Louise Bradt 

New York is a city of dreams in a land of opportunity. It was 

the first city emigrants landing from Europe would see in the 

new world. For some that first fleeting glimpse was also their 

last. 

Through triumph and tragedy the Big Apple remains, and 

everyone who lives there or just visits, wants to get their bite 

from it.

Oh We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside 

Pictures by Alan Griffiths 

When it comes to pictures of the seaside, it can help a great deal if there is a 

coast line nearby that you can actually get to. In the event that there is not one 

available, you might find the odd landscape that when taken without any other 

references, could be a coastal picture. 

In this image, the lighthouse is something of a giveaway as to its location 

beside the sea, and, as in the earlier article on architecture, the picture could 

easily have been a boring view of the dune and sea. This Alan has changed 

by looking at the angle from which the picture has been taken. 

The positioning of the lighthouse stops the eye from leaving the picture 

and the dramatic clouds and oblique sunlight create the desired effect. 

A picture should have a story to tell, and anyone who has visited the 

British Seaside will well remember this type of picture and the stories 

that go with it. 


Sometimes, to get the picture we want, we just have to use our 

imagination, and build on the idea until we get the desired effect. 

The figure of Churchill staring out at the plane crossing the coast 

would evoke many thoughts and memories. Created in post 

processing, the image is the result of lateral thinking and 

imagination. 

I doubt that the final image was thought of when the pictures to 

create it were taken, but it underlines the statement that “The 

only picture that is judged is the final presentation”. 

One thing we all do at the seaside is to let our eyes follow the 

horizon, so why not let the picture do the same? Some 

cameras have the facility to take a ‘panorama’ image but in 

reality they just crop the top and base of the standard 

image. 

Instead of this take a series of overlapping pictures and 

join them together, remembering that the more in series 

the narrower the final image. 


Continuing with the seaside 

theme, and the panoramas, you 

may have read the earlier 

article by Geoff Bowers on this 

subject. 

Yes you can do it. It is not 

highly technical, and requires 

no special equipment or 

training, just the courage to 

give it a go. 

If you use a wide angle lens to 

take the panorama picture then 

you will get distortion in the 

form of image compression 

because the final picture is still 

presented as a standard frame. 

Again, not all views work well as a panorama, but most do. In this selection Alan Griffiths reverts to colour. 

Colour sells, but it is also necessary to ensure the whole image holds the story you want to convey. 

Even when the tide is out on an overcast and uninviting day, the 

way the image is captured should convey that feeling. Views can 

change moment to moment depending on the lighting. 

They can also change in post processing, but if an image is changed 

it must still look right when finished. Here we could make the sun 

shine on the hills and the harbour, but with that heavy overcast sky 

who would believe it? 

As in all pictures you need to be aware of what is in the scene and 

the effects it will have on the final image. 

This is more important in a panorama sequence as you are only 

looking at one part at a time, and you may end up with a ghost 

image of someone or something moving which will spoil the 

picture. 


Some things in your panorama will change as you are taking the sequence, the rainbow is fairly stable, but if 

not it can easily disappear as you take the pictures. But what about more rapid moving objects? 

The answer here is easier than you may think, simply make sure that it is the first image you take then pan left 

and right for the sequence, or ensure that the moving object is in a single frame of the panned sequence. 

As a final thought, try a 

360 degree panorama 

from the top of a 

building or viewpoint. 

To view it again, print 

large and join the two 

ends together then view 

from inside the roll. 

Have fun.

Another from my East-West-East road trip taken a month or so ago. A fun picture, I wanted to capture all 

the 'splashing about' hence the weird composition. They say 'those who bath together stay together'. So it is 

with these Violet-Eared Waxbills (Uraeginthus granatinus) who 'mate for life' unless its mate dies. Mr (on 

the left) and Mrs (on the right) are enjoying an early morning bath together at the watering hole at the 

Witsand Nature Reserve, Northern Cape - South Africa. 

Green for go. A bit of fun with a desaturated and coloured Flap-necked Chameleon (Chamaeleo dilepis). 

Here crossing a road in South Africa's Kruger National Park. These chameleons lay 25 to 50 eggs in a hole 

dug in the soil. The Chameleon's can reach up to 35 cm (14 in) in length.

Uganda 

Birds of the Victoria Nile - Murchison National Park 

Gordon Longmead 

The next bird seen on the Victoria Nile is the 

African Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer). Its haunting 

call is said to be the call of Africa. 

Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum) 

The Grey Crowned Crane is arguably the prettiest 

bird in the park, certainly when it comes to the 

larger birds. It graceful dances and fanciful plumage 

make for an interesting study. 

Marabou Stork (Leptoptilos crumeniferus). 

The Marabou Stork is a common sight throughout 

Uganda. It is usually seen floating above the cities, 

but some birds frequent the park looking for carrion. 

African Darter drying its wings 

Commonly called the Snake Bird due to its long 

neck and appearance to a rising snake when in the 

water, its proper name is the African Darter. 

The Lappet-Faced Vulture (Torgos tracheliotus), is a 

very large scavenger found in Murchison . Its long 

body and wide wingspan being amongst the largest 

in Uganda. It often stands over a kill with its wings 

spread to intimidate other, smaller scavengers. 

African Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer) 


Lappet-Faced Vulture (Torgos tracheliotus) 

Grey Kestrel (Falco ardosiaceus) 

The Grey Kestrel is another common bird in 

Uganda, Small in comparison to other raptors, it 

swoops on small prey. 

Black-breasted Snake Eagle (Circaetus pectoralis) 

Black-breasted Snake Eagle sits in tall trees on open 

ground while searching for prey, not only snakes, 

but also for other reptiles. 

Eastern Grey Plantian-Eater (Crinifer zonurus) 

White Browed Coucal (Centropus superciliosus) 

At first sight the Eastern Grey Plantian-Eater looks 

as though it belongs with the raptors, but a closer 

look at the beak and talons soon dispel the idea. This 

unusual bird eats the flowers from trees and other 

vegetable materiel. 

The White Browed Coucal is a common bird of 

Murchison, Its unusual call sounds as though it is 

under water giving the common name of the water 

bird. 


Lake Superior, Minnesota 

“The Land of 10,000 Lakes" by Georgene Bergstrom 

Minnesota is one of the northernmost 

states of the USA, its nickname, The 

Land of 10,000 Lakes, is not 

exaggeration; there are 11,842 

Minnesota lakes in excess of 10 acres 

in size. 

The Minnesota portion of Lake 

Superior is the largest at 962,700 

acres and, at 1,290 ft, is deepest 

body of water in the state. 

Minnesota has 6,564 natural rivers 

and streams that in total flow for a 

distance of 69,000 miles. The 

Mississippi River begins its 

journey from Lake Itasca and 

crosses the Iowa border 680 

miles downstream. 

It is joined during its journey 

by the Minnesota River, the St. 

Croix River, the Chippewa 

River, and by many smaller 

streams, while the Red River 

drains the northwest part of 

the state northward toward 

Hudson Bay in Canada. 

A p p r o x i m a t e l y 

10.6 million acres of 

wetlands are contained 

within Minnesota's 

borders.

They said I was crazy to want a black seat on this baby, but I stuck to my guns and just look at her 

now.....Steven described this a "motorbike sex shot". He could be right - this could be a whole new business 

for me, motorbike porn - what do you think?

Photo Spot - Marrakech Morocco 

by Matthew Brooks 

I wonder how many people, when they think about 

Morocco, think of open deserts and begging children in 

the streets. 

We never seem to think that the people of Morocco 

have ever seen snow, and of course they do not have 

mountains because it is a flat, hot, desert country. 

Well time to reconsider that viewpoint, there are 

mountains and rivers and snow. 

The buildings however are a different matter. They are 

exactly as we would expect to see in this North African 

Country. Of course everyone knows that Africa is not a 

country but a continent made up of many countries. 

Morocco sits on the northern coast. 

Please enjoy this snapshot of the lands and cities of 

Morocco.

TECHNOLOGY EQUIPPED FOR GRIP 

MacWet Technology 

Most gloves on the market today are bulky and uncomfortable, causing a negative impact 

on your favourite sport. MacWet's unique Aquatec® fabric responds to moisture and 

climate change, ensuring maximum grip, sensitivity, feel and comfort at all times, no 

matter how wet or humid. The groundbreaking MacWet Sports glove marks a turning 

point in glove technology with characteristics that ensure user comfort, durability and 

performance. MacWet gloves' groundbreaking technology uses natural 'wicking' 

properties. This allows water to be readily transported along, around and over the gloves` 

surface to the fabric face, where it quickly evaporates, thus providing the ultimate in 

comfort and gripping power. 

The breathable, all-purpose MacWet sports gloves offer a comfortable fit and the 

performance you desire. Man made fabric permits the hand to breathe ensuring 

maximum grip consistently, with absolutely no compromise to the feel or comfort of the 

products. The second skin fit allows for fine adjustment of equipment without the need to 

remove the gloves.

operators that advertise on, or have links within, this site or provide reports within the societies

manner, be customer focused, with an emphasis on safety and value for money. 

As many of the tour operators and guides are members of the society, they are knowledgeable both 

on the areas they visit and on the subject of photography and will be willing to offer tips and 

guidance if required. Feedback about your tour is always welcomed and may appear in the society 

magazine.
