SUMMARY:Street Photography
DESCRIPTION:People\, cafes\, vendors\, street merchants\, buskers\, historic buildings\, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to “see” interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer’s eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you. \nWe will also go over settings\, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Elodie Harper
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to be hosting an event in collaboration with Colchester Castle for Elodie Harper’s newest book\, Boudicca’s Daughter\, with none other than Dan Jones chairing the event. \nElodie is a Sunday Times bestselling author\, known for her acclaimed Wolf Den trilogy set in ancient Pompeii\, and locally for her brilliant crime fiction set in East Anglia. Another Sunday Times bestseller\, Dan is a historian who specialises in the medieval period\, as well as being a novelist and TV presenter. \nAnd what better setting for our event than Colchester Castle\, built upon the former site of the Temple of Claudius that was sacked when Boudicca’s armies besieged Colchester in c.AD 60/61. However\, this is not the story of Boudicca\, but one of the women who grew up in her shadow; her daughter\, Solina. \nTickets are available of the Waterstones website. The standard ticket is £8 or £24 for a book and ticket.
