David is well-known in Norfolk - he lives locally and is one of the people behind the excellent Photographers' Gallery, near the Post Office in Holt. One of his recent books - the RSPB Guide to Digital Wildlife Photography - was on display (and for sale!)

If you stick a pin in a map of the world, David has photographed the things living there! He said he especially likes cold places - and nearly got stranded in Antarctica once while there to photograph penguins! But there were also leopards, a zebra (being eaten by a crocodile) as well as ordinary British Foxes and Herring Gulls.

Confessions of a photoholic

The last meeting of the North Norfolk Photographic Society this season was on Wednesday 13th May when Dave Stewart LBPPA showed and talked about 'Prints That Please Me'.

He admitted to being a photoholic - he just loves taking photographs and can't stop doing it! After some years as an amateur he turned professional - and reckons that 'Doing what I like doing and being paid for it can't be bad!'

Dave Stewart LBPPA showed and talked about 'Prints That Please Me'.

He showed pictures from his very varied portfolio. Dave was race
photographer with Jet Skier Magazine for some years, and as well as incredible pictures of jet skis (usually not the right way up) there were speedway, sand racing, vintage aircraft, pretty girls and landscapes - and much more.

Dave Stewart LBPPA showed and talked about 'Prints That Please Me'.

All were accompanied by Dave's witty explanation and comment. He is an expert in the use of the photo editing computer program Photoshop - and showed how you can 'fake' a picture so that the viewer (even a judge) will not notice! But it helps if you do not include the same red boat too often.
