Talk on Wildlife Photography


 🦌 From Munros to the coast: an unforgettable night with Michael Cook! 🌊

 

Last night we were lucky enough to welcome photographer Michael Cook for his talk, “A Journey from Munro Summit to Seashore.” What a treat! 🏔️📷

Michael is the founder of WildScot Photography, based in Stirling, and a finalist in the British Wildlife Photography Awards. He runs wildlife photography workshops and works as a nature guide across Scotland, so he really knows his stuff! 🦅🌿

The evening was excellent from start to finish. Michael shared plenty of practical tips and techniques to help us lift our own photography, and he wove his personal journey through the presentation, which made it both inspiring and great fun to watch. 🧠✨

👏 A huge thank you to Chris for organising the evening, and to Michael himself for a fantastic talk. We hope to see you again soon! 🙌

🗓️ Coming up next week: The results of Development League Round 1, Animals! 🐾

⏰ Reminder: The submission deadline for Development League Round 2, Yellow, is 17th November. Get shooting! 🟡📸

A welcoming community of photographers of every level and interest, we offer a varied and lively programme throughout the year. Our activities range from competitions and practical, hands‑on sessions to software workshops, location shoots, round‑table discussions and inspiring guest speakers.
We like to think of ourselves as a club with a difference. Rather than following a fixed formula, we shape our agenda around our members—focusing on practical learning, informal conversation and friendly competition.
Our interests span every corner of photography: digital and film, black‑and‑white and colour, landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, portraits, macro, creative work—whatever you enjoy, you’ll find someone here who shares your passion.
If you like taking photographs, want to learn and improve your skills and have a lot of fun doing it, come and join us.
