Derek Mishalski is a Polish born, UK based Photographer.
Tonight Derek will be presenting how infrared photography is done in the technical sense, how it differs from ‘regular’ shooting and discussion a variety of his photographs taken with different IR equipment and at different times of the year
He says he was given his first camera when he was 12and what started as taking a set of rather insignificant images in the playground quickly evolved into a serious streak of learning and spending some time in a local dark room.
After a while and for reason Derek can no longer remember he dropped photography. Only retuning many years later when he felt it was not a bad idea to see if if he would like it again.
Apart from abstract and travel photography Derek is an avid fan of long exposure and almost all of the images he takes fall into that category – although here you will also find many hand-held images too...!
Derek Michalski is also the Editor in Chief of Long Exposure Photography Magazine - LEMAG
About NDPS Special Presentations
Every month at Norwich and District Photographic Society there is the opportunity to hear inspirational photographic talks by photographers who are recognised to be at the top of their game and renowned specialists in their field of photography. The quality and range of subjects included in these Special Presentations are we believe unequalled both here in Norfolk and much further afield. Further, arguably alone they more than justify the cost of becoming a member of the Society.
The programme for the 2021-2022 Season is well advanced and has been designed to offer a broad range of excellent speakers who will cover, as in past seasons, a far reaching range of photographic genre. Whilst there remains some uncertainty regarding how quickly we shall return to the new normality after covid we will continue to take a flexible approach and only announce the final details about a month before each presentation.
Members of the Society are normally able to attend Special Presentations free of charge. However, NON-MEMBERS wanting to attend a Special Presentation can usually purchase a guest ticket prior to the event. Guest tickets (subject to availability) must be purchased in advance and are only available from our ticketing partner Eventbrite.co.uk.
During the coronavirus pandemic the Society put together a revised programme of Special Presentations that were presented online. These online events proved to be very successful, with good attendance and we thank all our speakers and members who have adapted to this medium. Post-covid we envisage that we shall continue to make full use of the available technologies to deliver our Special Presentations. In the past year online presenttions has widened our reach and we have hosted speakers from the furthest points in the UK, throughout Europe and much wider afield from Australia and the United States.
We don’t intend to allow geography to be a reason for not heaing from the very best photographers worldwide in future seasons. Equally, we shall evolve to ensure this is achieved in the most effective way for our members
