Tuesday 30th March -Guest Speaker
Clubrooms 7 pm start. This meeting will probably be shorter than a normal club night. Tonight we have guest speaker Rina Sjardin-Thompson. This is the opening paragraph on her website
“I am a full-time photographer for 8 years completely obsessed with all things landscape. I include landscapes with family photos, weddings, businesses and product photography so all my work is done within natural light and outside in the environment. I have also ventured into the world of abstract though still within the landscape genre.” Check out her amazing photography and come along and be inspired!
