16/3/26. John is a Cambridge University lecturer with a passion for ultra high speed photography. He produces extraordinary images of the world around us, captured in the briefest moment in time. His scientific experience was evident in his approach and the way that he had explored available technology and ultimately developed his own, to facilitate his obsession with capturing the world of insects, from their perspective. Very much a talk of 2 halves - the first half showcased his ingenious approach to capturing the flight as an aspect of behaviour, and his attempt to portray it as it happens naturally in the wild. He has spent many many hours perfecting, not only his techniques, but also his fieldcraft to create his remarkable images. The second half was his most recent project, again using ultra high speed photography, but this time, creating much more abstract images, capturing various objects dropped, or placed, into various liquids, pushing the properties of surface tension, together with creative lighting and colour. It was a great insight into his creative thinking and process. Great Fun. See his website here.
