Unfortunately some very sad news from the weekend. Ian Morison has passed on. Ian was a long standing member of Macclesfield Camera Club and was always ready to help out, share his love for both photography and astrophotography. Always ready with a quick tale and to share his skills be it about photography, cameras, lenses or about the latest gear he had acquired. As well as being extremely knowledgeable and a great photographer he was always very self effacing and enjoyed the ability to pass on his knowledge, experience, skill and love of photography.

Amongst his many pleasures, as well as being an active member of Macclesfield Camera Club, Ian was also an active member of Macclesfield Astronomical Society (Macc Astro) and until recently kept a monthly update on what has happening in the night sky on Jodrell Bank web site (Monthly Night Sky).

Our thoughts are with his wife, family and his many friends and colleagues from Ian’s many clubs.

Below is just one of Ian’s many superb images from a trip to New Zealand. Many other of his images can be found on the Macc Astro web site along with those of his friends.

Ian you’ll be greatly missed.

Terrific members night out at Blackpool illuminations

By News, Night Photography, outings One Comment

Around a dozen of us made the trip to Blackpool in four shared cars, most leaving Macc between 2pm and 3pm although a few had driven up the night before. We had around two hours of daylight photography before the night came and the lights were turned on at 6.45pm. Despite the length of the prom we all managed to bump into each other sometime during the night. The weather was extremely kind to us, no wind and no rain and it really wasn’t terribly busy either. The lights are a terrific show with the lit up trams, water reflections from the beach and multiple viewing angles from varying distances of the Tower to help get some good nighttime landscapes. I think everyone managed to get some good and very different shots. We will plan to show the best of these at some future camera club evening. Below is Kevin Blake’s creative slow shutter work of the passing tram.
