Thanks to everyone who came along to my talk. I hope you enjoyed the show!
My opening pitch...
I gave a talk to the Watford Camera Club last night at the Friends Meeting House on Church Road.
A very nice lady called Sarah looked after me, and she and a few other members helped me set up the projector, connect my laptop and lay out a few wildlife prints on a couple of metal stands plus a few business cards and a visitors' book for people to sign.
After a few club notices from Sarah, I started my talk.
I was due to speak for around an hour and a half, which was a bit longer than usual, so I had to expand my slideshow by adding a few more images.
I ended up with around 150 pictures from all the photographic trips I've taken around the world, and, as I went through them, I told a few stories and picked up on a couple of technical points as I went along.
The audience also chipped in with a few questions. After 45 minutes or so, we stopped for a tea break, and then i carried on for another 45 minutes.
I finished on time - which was a relief! - and I was given a couple of generous rounds of applause, so I hope the audience enjoyed the talk as much as I did!
Four people signed up to my mailing list, and a couple left some kind words in my visitors' book, so thanks again to everyone. I'm just sorry that Terri, my original contact at the club, couldn't make it on the night.
“Your amazing photos!!”
“Great presentation!”
