The topic of this Wellington Photographic Society meeting seems to largely overlap with interests found in the Tramping Club. Therefore, and since you don’t have to be a member to attend the meetings, I cite and post the advertisement here as follows:

Rob Suisted – Natural History Photography

Tuesday 10^th July

The Arts Centre, 61-69 Abel Smith Street

7:30 pm

“Outstanding nature photography takes a commitment to many things: patience, understanding the environment and subjects, (…) and passion. Rob Suisted has used this commitment to strive for very special imagery. With a background in zoology, a professional career in conservation management and quality management systems, along with extensive experience in remote/back-country areas and photography, Rob is a highly regarded outdoor photographer, whose work is used throughout the world. His pictures have appeared internationally and locally on billboards, stamps, postcards, covers of journals, etc.

Rob has been very active in photographic instruction, speaking regularly on the subject, and writing his own photographic instruction column for several years for the popular New Zealand Outdoor Magazine. Rob also regularly speaks publicly on photography and conservation.

Come join Rob as he shares his knowledge on natural history photography, covering subjects like techniques getting crisp images in difficult lighting conditions, which is often the case in nature photography; and how to best capture birds, wildlife, scenery and flora.”
