Be inspired by some stunning wildlife images of the UK natural world – mammals, birds, insects and landscapes – taken by Jon Hawkins, on Friday 7th February 2025 at 7.30pm in Froyle Village Hall.

As a professional photographer, wildlife is his hobby. The talk will describe how he achieved getting the photos in relation to the subject. Understanding wildlife is a key essential to taking pictures in the natural environment. Jon’s pictures and associated talk will be a reflection of his appreciation for his subjects and surroundings. Although he shows some settings he used on the photos, there is only brief mention about the technical aspects of photography.

Jon Hawkins is an award winning photographer based in Ash Surrey, see https://surreyhillsphotography.smugmug.com/Galleries/Wildlife. His images have been published in various national magazines, newspapers, greeting cards, calendars and websites including use by the BBC, Sky and National Geographic. Before turning professional as ‘Surrey Hills Photography’ one of his images was included in the BBC’s Countryfile Calendar.
