An extract from Laurie's email
Divided into two forty-minute sessions, the presentation will begin with everyday, accessible subjects close to his home in the Scottish Borders, but it will also include a selection of work from his most recent book about the return of otters to the Tweed river system.
After an interval, the second part of the evenings presentation will show the results from an ongoing project on the North Harris Estate where Laurie is working on an ongoing commission to photograph the wildlife, landscape and a little of the culture of this wild and beautiful part of Scotland. Included in this section, will be tales, describing his experiences of photographing golden eagles in winter and then from a tiny camouflaged hide, thirty feet away on a cliff ledge overlooking their eyrie, where he captured some of the most intimate photographs ever taken of golden eagles at the nest.
Although the commentary throughout the presentation will occasionally include some technical information about equipment and photographic techniques used, the style is equally aimed to be informative about the subjects themselves and the fieldcraft skills that are often required to get close to them.
