Talk proves an inspiration to all


'LAST week's meeting of the Ribblesdale Camera Club was th e eagerly- awaited sequel to member Michael Caddy's previ­ ous talk on his photography.


.


He called it "Wilderness: a Promise of the Wild". The journey started in Zion National


•Park in the United States, moving on to Monument Valley. As before, the presenta­ tion was broken into sections by short poems, not only Mike's own, but from other poets such as Evertt Ruess, a highly-respected landscape photographer, and a colleague of Weston and Ansel Adams. Returning to more local areas, we were


shown-how photogenic Sladburn's grass meadows could be, but wilder areas such as Crummock Water and Wasdale were soon reached. Golden eagles, buzzards and red deer were shown in close-up, the latter in Finhom


Valley, Scotland. Soon, red squirrels in the snow, Mike's


"trade mark", were on the screen, followed by a little owl, kingfishers and rabbits. There were some wonderful early morning shots of sleepy looking hares with their fur still dishevelled, and some later in the day, per- forming their characteristic dancing and box­ ing. The final sequence showed close-ups of rabbits and hares in the morning mist which apparently .meant crawling slowly on the dew covered ground to avoid frightening the crea­ tures. This was true dedication, with brilliant


results to justify it, delivered with the usual self-deprecating wry humour. The club's


chairman, Mr Stephen Robinson, said sim­ ply: “An inspiration to us all". Nothing more could be added; The AGM of theTriterClub Photographic


Union, the 93rd in the association's long his­ tory, was held last Saturday in Bury; The year's folios were agreed to be of high stan­ dard and the competitions were well attend­ ed. The Chorley Shield, for the best entry of trade processed colour prints, was presented to Ribblesdale Camera Club, with Mr Steve ’- Ashcroft gaining two certificates of merit. The next meeting, on Tuesday, October


29th; is a print and slide battle against Bum- ley Camera' Glub to be held a t Burnley. Details from' 01200 427735 or 01254-822760. 'T” '
