Tim Stanger LRPS and Mick Allen return for their annual summer exhibition of photography, offering a wide range of local subjects from vast panoramic land and seascapes to close-up, almost abstract, studies with a contemporary feel.

Tim Stanger's work is already familiar to many of us, as his images have been much used in recent years to promote the holiday industry in the South West, in council literature, and as postcards bought in the West Country and mailed worldwide. Now relocated to the Quantock Hills in Somerset, he is busy exploring new vistas, and is increasingly interested in developing views of texture and form within the intimate landscape.

Mick Allen continues to manipulate modern technology in order to capture his panoramic landscapes, his current method of choice being to send his remote controlled camera up a 30' mast. Back in the studio, he combines 3 rows of up to 20 separate images to create a vast, printed image with precise detail.

"My approach to the local landscape is to use the panoramic format to the full."

Sue Stanger who, with her husband Tim, ran their photographic library and card and calendar business, will also show work in this exhibition.

Photographs are available framed, unframed, or printed onto canvas, with panoramic images up to 10' in width.
