Her research took her first to Bavaria and then ultimately to Yellowstone National Park after the reintroduction of the wolves in 1995 and 1996. She and her husband have spent over 20 years splitting their time between their home in Montana and their home on Dartmoor. Now based back permanently in the UK, each day Kirsty receives up to date reports on the wolves that she knows so well.

 

Yellowstone became an important place for Kirsty. She soon realised that there was much more to it than just wolves! It boosted her interest in photography and it was 10 photographs from Yellowstone that gave her the LRPS from the RPS. 

 

The first half of her talk will be all about Yellowstone, its history, unique environment and the animals that live there. The second part will be about the wolves of Yellowstone, their lives, their struggles.

 

Kirsty is a published author on wolf behaviour and has given talks on them in Europe and the USA as well as in the UK. She lectured on wolf behaviour and ecology.

 

She is Secretary and Programme Host for Newton Abbot Photographic Club.

 

 

Last month we were privileged to look at and share some fascinating images from eight members. The meeting was very well attended both in the clubroom and zoom, which I expect will inspire members to share their images at the next meeting in about ten days’ time on Monday 13 May at 7.30pm.

 

These informal meetings are a great opportunity to share your work with other members or simply to gain some inspiration. If you would like some advice, to share a project you have been working on or simply want to share some of your images outside the competition environment, please send your images to dig@bristolphoto.org.uk by email or WeTransfer service by 5.00pm on Saturday 11 of May (please note, a day earlier than usual) so they can be included.

 

Please number your images in the order you would like them to be viewed and resize to the usual competition size, not essential but helps to keep the file sizes manageable.

 

 

With Council’s approval, we have tried to streamline and clarify the Competitions section on the website. Please take a look and let us know if there are still any aspects that are unclear. (These can be found under Competition Rules & Info in the Members' Area of the BPS website).

 

In terms of entry rules, there are just three changes. It’s important to take note of these because they apply to forthcoming competitions.
