Tony North Guest Speaker Via Zoom Scapes 2: Urban and Creative
In this talk I cover my cityscapes and other urban images, and also my creative work mainly involving multiple exposures. You can view my landscapes here and some of my award winning shots here.
As with Scapes 1 I share some tips and techniques, as well as anecdotes about the locations and experiences of shooting the scenes. I also mention some of my inspirations, including Sandra Bartocha and Pep Ventosa.
​As we go along I will discuss some important themes in these genres of photography, such as when to convert to mono and when to go with colour. We will also look at when images benefit from the presence of people.
​The talk is structured as follows:
​1. Introduction and gear used
2. Urban landscapes, from locations including Manchester, London, Italy and India. Images include traditional cityscapes, night shots and light trails, and street photography.
3. Creative images – multiple exposures and ICM shots of the urban environment, some including people.
4. Live demo of how I create one of my urban creative images.

Presents “OiPEJETA CONCERVANCY”
Although I am a wildlife photographer at heart, I am also a generalist, rather than a pure specialist, and my favourite is African wildlife, which this site is dedicated to. I shoot a wide range of styles and genres.
I put the emphasis on quality with my images, but quality is a big word and can mean many different things, although it always comes from the skill and technical knowledge of the photographer. People sometimes ask, “what is quality?” It is very hard to describe quality, as it includes sharpness, contrast, composition, colour and depth of field, to name just a few, but however you measure it, it is always visible and makes the image stand out!
My home is in Stafford, UK. I have previously lived in Porthcawl, Douglas (Isle of Man), Swindon, Neath, Penygraig and Maerdy.
INFO
