Len Morris

 

I have been a photographer for many years since about the 1970s but when I came north to Yorkshire from Cambridgeshire I was firstly involved with a Bradford company at board level and went on to set up my own consultancy business so in the ten years or so up to my retirement photography got squeezed out and the quality suffered badly!  On retirement I took a look around for a good camera club and realized that Ilkley Camera Club was the best in the area so joined that.  Being a member of a club, especially a good one drags your photography expertise up.  It is quite salutary to enter a club competition, to get soundly beaten and see from the winning prints and judges remarks exactly why!  Must do better next time.  Well since then I have managed to get some improvement and give my colleagues at Ilkley a good run for their money but the competition is still stiff and standard high which is excellent!  I have just achieved my CPAGB this year so there is a fair way to go in improvement as yet!  I have yet to get a print accepted for the YPU exhibition despite what appears to be some near misses.  That is one of my next hurdles!.
