HPS had a full house for Peter Paterson’s excellent talk ‘Photography My Way’ last monday. Peter’s stunning Scottish landscapes were appreciated by everyone.
Tomorrow evening (10th December), we are joined by renowned professional landscape photographer Chris Ceaser. His talk ‘Into the Landscape’ is an insight into a professional’s approach to landscape photography.
