Steve Williams would say he is not a 'nature expert', but he does manage to capture excellent animal portraits as well as a huge range of birdlife along with butterflies, dragonflies and damsel flies. Whilst many images are taken in the wild, the more exotic creatures in his collection were actually captured in zoo enclosures. But with skill and careful planning, he was able to keep elements of the zoos well hidden. As he presented his images, he also took us on an extensive tour ofthe zoos, wildlife parks and nature reserves of the UK along with many tips on how to plan to get the best of what you find there. The image above however, was actually taken in his back garden, proving that you don't always have to travel far to capture nature in action. This is Steve's second visit to the club. Steve's website gives more information on his work and his other talks.
