Well done to George for taking the time to update his Member Profile. George is the 2nd member this season to do so. At this early stage in the season we encourage all members to either create or update Member Profiles or Member Galleries. Just contact Jack to do so.

On the 6th October we enjoyed  Paul MacDougall’s 3rd visit to the club. Paul has MBCC members as clients for his excellent workshops, tours and safari trips. His topic for the evening was The Light and the Darkness – Using Exposure Compensation highlighting the dramatic effects achievable with exposure changes in given wildlife environments.    https://www.mcdougallphotographic.co.uk
