Welcome back to another wonderful season for Gosforth Camera Club. Maggi Shepherd takes the helm as President and will present to us her vision for the new season. With the introduction of Mini Projects, we will have a Guest Speaker on various topics throughout the season then the following weekend we will be out and about taking images on that topic. Two weeks later discussing as a group the images taken.
Maggi will also present images from a recent trip to Japan. Her summary:-
This will be one photographer’s view of this uniquely fascinating country. It will look at some of the deeply rooted traditions of Japan and how these are still an important part of Japanese culture today. They will provide a great contrast to the images of the busy technological practices of its modern world. It will show some of the flora and fauna of the country, including the majestic bamboo forests, the highly formalised gardens and the endearing snow monkeys at their thermal pool. It will also show some of the fascinating food, much of which was a complete mystery both before and after we had tasted it.
