TESTIMONIALS 2024 - 2025

7 April 2025 - "Judging - Print Battle Abington v Duston" - Abington Camera Club

Many thanks for judging our battle with Duston CC last evening. Your commentary was well received and the scoring very fair. We know that Duston is focused on print competitions so their deserved win was no surprise.

Alan Edwards - Chairman Abington CC

It was lovely to see you and Irene at Abington on Monday evening. I thought you did a great job judging the competition with a very high standard of entries. My husband Peter did the PAGB judging course the same day as you and Ken but hasn't felt confident in going out and judging. After seeing you in action on Monday, he was wondering if he could go with you to a few of the competitions you judge to get more of an idea of what is required before going out on the circuit.

Pat Irons - Programme Secretary - Duston CC

31 March 2025 - "My Lockdown Garden" - Cirencester Camera Club

Many thanks Malcolm for your excellent presentation this evening and for stepping in at such short notice. I'm not sure if you could gauge how it went down but I can assure you it was very well received. I've had quite a few members congratulate me for finding such a good talk, and I'm sure it has inspired lots of us to have another look at what we could achieve in our back gardens. The images were super and the stories and presentation style gave us time to appreciate them all the more. It was really useful having all the settings detailed so clearly too.

Dave Cahill, Programme Secretary

11 March 2025 - "Where I Photograph Great Britain" - Duston Camera Club

I hope you and Irene had a good journey home last night.

Thank you so much for a very informative and enjoyable talk last night. I have visited several of the places you mentioned last night, and found it interesting how we take differing images of the same scenes. I am sure you have inspired our members at Duston to get out and about with their cameras, as you have shown that you don't need to travel too far from home to get great landscape and wildlife photography.

I will look forward to your next talk in January.

Wishing you and Irene all the best. Pat Irons - Programme Secretary

16 December 2024 - "Where I Photograph British Wildlife" - The Caravan Club Photography Group.

Thank you very much for a super talk that everyone enjoyed and appreciated. Corby area is certainly an epicenter for great places to photograph birds! I do hope that you can join us again in the future. Best Wishes, Stuart

Your pictures were met with universal approval, so I’d be delighted to ask you again next winter. Best Wishes, Stuart

Thanks for a fantastic presentation tonight and for taking the trouble to come over to Dunchurch.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Best wishes, Rob Hughes

19 November 2024 - "Judging - Intermediate and Advanced PDI's" - Worcestershire Camera Club

A message of thanks for the comments that you made about my images this week when you were the judge for our PDI competition. I enter club competitions to get a critique of my image so that i can learn how to improve. Unfortunately that isn't always the case with some judges. I took the comments that you made about my three images and edited my images to reflect them. In each case my images are now better and in one case much better. Thank you! Nick

28 October 2024 - " Where I Photograph Great Britain" - KIdlington & District Photo Group

Thanks again for your excellent presentation last night. Great photos and information. And I’m grateful that you were able to step in at short notice. We really appreciated it! - Kim Benson

Thank you very much for your interesting talk last night. I'm sure there are a few of us today planning our next photo trip after seeing your images! - Astrid Van Maanen

14 October 2024 - "Judging - Print Portfolio Competition" - Abington Camera Club

Thank you for making the journey to Abington CC last evening. We very much enjoyed your review of our print panels and choice of a worthy winner. Alan Edwards

Just a line to say how much we appreciated your critique of our photographs. Your carefully considered comments were delivered in a friendly, helpful way that I think resonated with our members and I am sure they will have taken them all on board. So, thank you very much and we hope to see you again soon. Martin Bodsworth

On behalf of the GCC committee and its members, I'd like to thank you for presenting your talk 'An Australasian Adventure And Its Wildlife' last night over Zoom. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the excellent Australasian landscape, and wildlife photographs that you presented to us from your incredible journey, it was a fantastic evening.

12 June 2024 - "Where I Photograph British Wildlife" - Tamworth Photographic Club

It was good to meet you and your wife, and I hope you had a safe journey back home.

It was a thoroughly entertaining evening, with so many wonderful images from your travels across the UK. It was great to see such a wide range of species, and also good of you to share the locations where you have captured the images over the years.

The feedback I have had from our members has been extremely positive, so I hope you can come back to the club at some stage in the future, to share further images and the stories that go along with them ?

Once again, thank you for a very entertaining and informative evening.

Tamworth Photographic Club Secretary - Mike Woods CPAGB BPE1*

13 May 2024 - "Where I Photograph British Wildlife" - Rushcliffe Photographic Society

Thank you for your excellent talk to Rushcliffe Photographic Society last night. What wonderful images you showed us and you gave excellent detail of the locations and camera settings. I was amazed at the range of birds and butterflies that you had photographed and identified. There were many that I had never even heard of.

12 March 2024 - "Where I photograph Wildlife Abroad" - St Ives Photographic Club

Many thanks for your fascinating talk again last night

29 January 2024 - "An Australasian Adventure and Its Wildlife" - Sodbury and Yate Photographic Club

Just a quick note of thanks from all our members at SYPC. That talk was top class and your “grab shots” were outstanding. Although “grab shots” they didn't appear to be. It was made even better through your knowledge of the wildlife, geography and the odd little story about the “expedition”..

Thanks again – and I hope to see you back at SYPC with another of your talks. Stuart
