TALENTED local photographer Peter Ribbeck is giving a talk on ‘Landscape photography in the digital age’ tomorrow evening (Thursday, October 9) at Beith Camera Club’s meeting in Beith Community Centre at 7.30pm.
He will be showing a selection of his best photographs including award-winning images recently exhibited at the National Theatre in London.
Peter picked up his first DSLR in 2006 – an 8 Megapixel Olympus E500. This was to be the beginning of a passion for photography which is still as strong today.
Peter describes himself as a self taught amateur photographer with no academic training. “Most of my skills have been honed by trial and error, reading photography magazines and many hours down at my favourite haunt of Portencross,” said Peter.
“I tend to be over critical and lack self confidence in my work.” Surprisingly for someone who works with colour images, Peter is colour blind.
“But when I am out on location with my camera and the light is right, I feel like the best photographer in the world.” There is a £2 admission fee to cover tea and coffee.
