Thank you Roy Killen

Roy’s presentation tonight was succinct and thought provoking.  Roy covered the principles of good photographic techniques and provided numerous examples to reinforce each point.  He also covered the principles of basic end processing and again illustrated each point with images.

Roy encouraged interaction and questions throughout the presentation.  Everyone who attended the session, from beginners to advanced, learned a lot tonight.

Thank you Roy for another fantastic session.
