Monday May 18, 8.00pm Virtual meeting with guest speaker Peter Eastway.

Peter’s topic is loosely described as “Turning photographs into art”. Peter is well known for “interpreting” the landscape to turn images into pieces of art worthy of hanging on a wall.

Some of you may be aware that Peter was one of those “trapped” aboard the Greg Mortimer off Uruguay following voyages to Antarctica. This isolation provided plenty of time for image processing. A portfolio of images from those voyages can be found at https://www.petereastway.com/p428017922.   Peter will be demonstrating how he processed some of those images.
