Colin Prior presents High Light

An all new portfolio of awe-inspiring Highland photography from Scotland's finest photographer.

Colin Prior's work is about landscape photography at it's limits. Shooting at the magic hours of dusk and dawn, he catches those rare moments when composition, fine light and colour combine to create a memorable image. Each photograph captures fleeting moments of nature which will never repeat themselves exactly.

The images verge on obsession - Colin camped out on the remotest peaks in Scotland to obtain them.

The portfolio combines breath-taking new examples of Colin's trademark panoramas - which continue to appeal to the tourist and travel markets - with a range of new medium format images that push the boundaries of digital photography.

Tuesday, 26th October 2010 at the Free Church, Market Hill St Ives, PE27 5AL. 8:00pm to 10pm (Doors open 7:30pm)

Tickets are £10 (£5 to club members) including light refreshments.

to obtaion tickets in advance, please send a cheque (Payable to St Ives PC) and a stamped A5 SAE to SIPC Events, Tamour Cottage, London Road, St Ives PE27 5ES.
