I was at Malham last month with the Royal Photographic Society. I went with the Nature group. It was a really enjoyable weekend and one I would like to repeat again. We stayed at the Field Studies Centre, a beautiful old hunting lodge with several accommodation complexes for small groups. It was quite impressive and the rooms had 2 single beds which were quite large with good security.
Malham Tarn was visible from the lodge and on one of the days we walked down to the shoreline.
It was well planned and we had several excursions to Meadows and nature reserves where lots of pictures were taken.
Its good I took my 50mm prime Minolta lens and extension tubes as close up/macro was the order of the day. I have had extension tubes for a while and I know the theory of their use but not alot of experience. On this weekend we had plenty if opportunity to practice and get images which is what I did and I am pleased with the results. I think I surprised myself.
Being more of a landscape photographer I did not abandon, my genre and got a few shots which I am also pleased with.
I was so happy with my efforts I have put together a disk of images and text which I have submitted to the Nature Group editor for consideration of submission to the magazine.
We will see what the outcome of that is but I don't expect to hear the results I if that till next month.
