Special Presentation by award winning photographer Tracey Lund

'Stunning images, Tracey'

This heading comes nowhere near summing up last night's Special Presentation to Norwich & District Photographic Society. Tracy was chosen because of her undoubted expertise in this particular field, as evidence by her long string of awards, to make the final Special Presentation of 2020.

 'Wonderful, thank you'

Tracy took us through a long and breath-taking journey around the world photographing what was obviously the love and passion of her life - wildlife. We visited Japan (Snow Macaques, Red Crown Cranes, Whooper Swans, Eagles), Finland (Black Grouse, Goshawks, Waxwings, Golden Eagles, Wolverines), Iceland (Blue Nosed Arctic Foxes), The Camargue (Horses), Holland (Gorillas), Spain (The Lynx and Bears), Kent (Lions and Leopards, Yorkshire (Polar Bears), Yellowstone USA (Grizzly Bears, Birds of Prey) and other places in the United Kingdom (puffins, Seals, Owls, Hares, Red Squirrels). Not just a list of far flung places but a very long and varied list of species.

 'I loved your beautiful images.'

Tracy also shared some of her techniques with us. She always uses Manual mode. She make eye contact with her subject and takes the images at their eye level - a way of working that shone through all her images. Always have your camera set and ready for the 'grab shot'.

'Another top presentation'

She said that her post-production skills were not good and she composed and made her pictures in camera. What skills she demonstrated with those engaging and exciting images. Nevertheless she congratulates herself on keeping the total of her images down to 19,000 on a trip and for the award winning shot of Gannets feeding underwater she said she took 1,800 images of which 2 were acceptable!

 'Beautiful images, Tracy. Thank you'

 'Awesome stuff'

Thanks again, Tracy, for a terrific end to the season.
