Club Meeting, ‘In the City’ - Tuesday 11th November 2025.
On Tuesday 11th November 2025, Morpeth Camera Club welcomed Guest Speaker Adam Lang who gave a presentation
entitled ‘In the City,’ Based in Gateshead Adam shoots mainly Street Photography around Newcastle but also loves to go
travelling to seek out new locations. He opened the evening by saying that he has only been taking photographs seriously
for the past ten years.
We enjoyed seeing his moody images in an around Central Station, with distinctive rim lit silhouettes of commuters and
roof patterns shot in evening glow. He loves shooting in fog, snow and rain and with most of his photographs taken hand
held he has succeeded in capturing stunning results. He went on to show his atmospheric images taken around the Tyne
Bridge and the Side, especially with an unusual mix of fog and sunbeams. He also explained that his preferred portrait
mode in landscapes lend themselves to being used online. His shots taken around the quayside with a bokeh effect had
evoked an atmosphere of eeriness as were old pub lights in the fog which had a film noir quality.
Street photography in Lisbon followed and his love of the colour yellow came into its own; with its architecture, the café
culture, trams, queues of people, shop window displays, yellow appeared to be his overriding aim. Images taken on city
break in Prague followed not only with stunning night images of the city’s architecture but of its vibrant street life. We
enjoyed seeing examples of starbursts appearing through fog, long shadows formed at sundown, snow flakes landing on
street lights, umbrella carrying pedestrians in heavy rain, and mirror image reflections in puddles. Autumn in Budapest
concluded Adams presentation, with its impressive Fisherman’s Bastion and the stunning Parliament building in floodlit
splendour.
Throughout the evening Adam generously answered questions regarding Iso settings, shutter speeds and his navigation
around photographing people, which made for a special evening of photography at the club. Chairman Jeremy Cooper
thanked Adam for showing a great variety of images, and how he made contra jour a simple genre of photography, after
which refreshments were enjoyed while viewing a selection of Adams prints.
