About the speakers:
Tony North, DPAGB
The Art of Macro and my journey to my DPAGB.
Tony joined South Manchester Camera Club in 2016, after getting his first DSLR camera. After having some success in club, inter-club and BPE competitions Tony decided to apply for the CPAGB in 2019, and passed with a mix of insect images and landscapes, which also formed the basis for his DPAGB in 2020. Tony will talk about this journey, showing the images that he entered, and giving my thoughts on the experience as a whole.
Eddie Leach, DPAGB
DPAGB. My journey.
Eddie started his photography journey in July 2014, soon after joining Oldham Photographic Society. In 2018 Eddie was pleased to pass the CPAGB and passed the DPAGB in 2021. Eddies journey through the process has taken him through portrait, composites, sport and nature. This took Eddie outside his comfort zone, to where he believes he can now enjoy a wider range of photographic opportunities.
Brianna Gilligan
Competing against adults
Brianna is a young photographer who took up photography in April 2020 (then 10 years old) and joined Oldham Photographic Society and her images have been used by Oldham PS in external competitions traditionally only entered by adults.
David Butler, MFIAP MPSA ARPS BPE5* Hon LCPU
L&CPU mentor scheme
Dave had his first camera some fifty years ago and has been interested in photography ever since. His main focus has always been on the image and not the equipment, a trend which continues to this day. Having been an image assessor or judge for some thirty-five years or so Dave’s photographic philosophy has remained constant to this idea.
