Access All Areas
Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed your talk, "Access All Areas" this evening. The range of topics covered and the excellent way in which you presented your subjects was both informative and entertaining. You managed to give full details of technical aspects as well as full explanations of how you were able to gain access to the places and the events you described. An excellent all round talk. Thank you.
I very much enjoyed Paul's talk. It was amusing, informative and had great pictures. I liked that the topics were things he cared about so the enthusiasm came through and he shared with us technical and practical details of what he was doing. A very enjoyable evening.
Paul gave us a great talk last night - Access All Areas. He was interesting and informative … particularly on the question of how to gain access to these areas, as well as the technical details of camera, lens, aperture etc. His sense of humour was pervasive and worked! I’d be happy to have him back
I can tell you that the talk was really good, and inspiring too ! The accessible bits like Chiswick bridge or other bridges where I could see rowers. I loved some of the shots from above where you can see the 8 splashes in the water where the oars came out from the water. Your white water canoeing shots are amazing And the panoramas as well - very inspiring indeed !!
Many thanks for your interesting and enjoyable talk last night! Appreciated all the information on how you took the picture as well as how you gained access to the opportunity so thank you very much for sharing the experiences. Some great pictures as well!! Loved the variety and coverage, and we were all intrigued by your judge puzzlers.
My Journey to ARPS ....
Paul is an excellent and clearly and experienced public speaker. His talk was interesting, informative and was at a good pace. I Definitely recommend Paul to any club.
Being quite new to the club I found the talk helped with upstanding the next steps that can be taken, once I have honed my photographic skills. I am currently learning a lot from the Club competitions and the feedback from the judges. Paul explained the processes for obtaining the photography qualifications very well and his panels also assisted in knowing what the expected requirements are.
His presentation was obviously thought out and well structured with good written bullet points. It was delivered clearly with confidence and at a controlled speed for the audience to digest. His images were first class and illustrated his talk perfectly. All in all, a very entertaining, professional presentation and I left thinking that I should really give thought to trying for a RPS qualification.
The story of Paul's journey to ARPS made for an entertaining and informative evening. As an introduction to RPS distinctions and panel building it was extremely well crafted and accessible. For those already familiar with the process and requirements, the great photography on display was enough to make for a very worthwhile couple of hours.
Very enjoyable and informative talk. I felt motivated and inspired.
Very well presented, with such clarity and presentation of clear objectives. Also, most impressed with the details of the individual and collective summary of the 'panel prints'. Most enjoyable, and extremely valuable understanding provided, with such passion and integrity.
