ParticipantYes I enjoyed his style of getting people involved and would enjoy him coming back, but I wish that All the guest speakers would give some more technical talk of how they produced the shots with shutter speed and aperture and iso.

ParticipantI was only able to stay for first half amusing but very instructive on how to seek out street images, something I am rubbish at but feel encouraged to give it a try.
I would have him back but does he have other talks to give ?

ModeratorI thought Damien was quite entertaining and informative, he puts a lot of thought into his subjects and has a lot of patience to wait for the right moment, something I should perhaps work on to improve my street photography and photography generally. I’d be happy to have him back again

ParticipantIn my view, Damien Demolder was a first class speaker last night. Just where did two hours go? There aren’t many speakers where we can say that about them. Damien demonstrated various practical methods of how to go about taking street photography. Not an easy subject for even the most experienced photographers. He held my interest with his very useful comments, particularly the need to think about the shot you want before you’ve even got your camera out of its bag/your pocket etc. thus avoiding unwanted attention. I would certainly like to see him invited back to the club, with another of his lectures.

A thoroughly enjoyable evening.
I found Damian very informative and I feel I learned so much from him. I wasn’t so impressed by his Lumix pitch but it was well worth putting up with considering how much knowledge I gained.
I for one would like to see how he does as a Judge.

ParticipantI am just sorry we didn’t get to hear the rest of his presentation. I think we should have him back for the second half!

ParticipantI liked Damien’s talk, especially the first half. He has a polished style and delivery and very amusing. I didn’t think there were many images but the explanation of those that were there was very enlightening. I can’t say street photography is for me, but it was an interesting talk. Just out of curiosity, was anybody tempted by the camera stall? If I have one little nit pick then it would be that the second half seemed like a sales pitch for Panasonic. I would definitely like to see him back.

ParticipantA very entertaining and informative evening. It was particularly helpful to understand the preparation and care Damien took to get his compositions right and what sorts of things he considered beforehand. As someone else mentioned – a little too much sales in the second half, I felt, at the expense of images.

ParticipantExcellent and very enjoyable presentation, particularly the first half, however, I didn’t like the heavy sell aspect of the second half and the inference that I could only become a street photographer if I bought a Panasonic GX9 or G9!
