Happy snaps from the Friday evening Welcome Dinner.

And a few more...

1. Jay Collier- Canon Collective, who gave a most enlightening workshop on getting the most out of your camera.

2. 'Beauty and the Beast'. Georgina Steytler and Brian O'Leary - winners of the 2017 and 2015 Tom Oliver Awards.

3. Graham Cam presenting Tim van Leeuwen with the silver medal, Advanced Level Competition.

Happy photographers at the closing dinner on Sunday evening at the Wharf Shed Cafe.

A few more snaps from the Sunday evening closing dinner.

And, finally, a couple of shots of the Registration Desk, the Canon stand and a lecture theatre.

Here are a few of my shots of some the speakers.
I think there are already photos of all of them, but thought you might like to see just how animated
they could be.
Rather than use my DSLR for these moments I like to travel as light as possible at presentations so have
a Panasonic Lumix GM5 along with a Olympus 75mm f1.8 lens. That's equivalent to using a 150mm on 35mm full frame.
Most photos were at ISO 800, f2 and between 1/30 and 1/160sec.
With a large aperture and slow shutter speed getting sharp results is not always easy, but my main aim was
to capture an expression or gesture that looked interesting.
