What a fantastic evening at SPG last Night. Michael presented his photography story for the first half of the evening. It was very interesting to see his journey from starting out to where he is now.

For the second half we ventured outside to try our hand at some painting with light. Club member split into to groups. Group one went with Tommy and Dafydd around the pond to try and get some reflections. The other group went with Michael to play with his homemade LED Sticks. Both groups swapped after 20 minutes. There were some fantastic results seen on the night and there were plenty of smiling faces as we departed for the evening. Thank you all for coming and making the evening so enjoyable.
