Photography by Chris Dawson CPAGB

Welcome to my photography gallery. I have been taking photographs since the late 1970s when I bought my first camera - a Minolta Hi-Matic rangefinder. However, it is only since 2014, when I joined Seaford Photographic Society, that I have started to take it more seriously. I particularly enjoy taking wildlife images but I don't have the patience to sit in a hide for days on end to capture that perfect shot. It is very much an ongoing journey and I am still experimenting with different subjects and techniques.
Each page on this site has the photos sorted by date taken, with the most recent at the top, and more will be added, so watch this space. This is only a small selection of my favourite images - I hope you enjoy them.
There is a link at the bottom of this page to my other photography site www.greekimages.co.uk - A record of our 25 years of travelling in Greece, featuring over 1,700 photos.

LATEST NEWS: Site updated 28 February 2020 - New photos added.

Here is some info about UK photographic clubs, as the acronyms can be a bit confusing. The Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) is the national organisation that co-ordinates activities for around 1000 photographic clubs in the UK (including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man). It does this through 15 geographical Federations, of which The Kent County Photographic Association (KCPA) is one. This covers Kent and parts of East Sussex and Southeast London and it has about 50 affiliated member clubs including Seaford Photographic Society (SPS).
