In this talk I will describe how the concept of photography began back in ancient times and how it has developed (joke!) into the amazing cameras that we have today. I will explain how you can make your own very basic camera, and bring the one that I made to show the audience. I will also speak about the difference between 'real' cameras and phone cameras.

About Dr Peter Altman

I am a retired Biochemist and an experienced speaker. My mission is to entertain the audience, and in some cases, to educate them as well. All my talks are on PowerPoint slides and last for 45 to 60 minutes. I try to include props to engage with my audience. Questions are always welcome.

I would generally only travel within about 50 miles of the AL2 postcode. Fee: about £85 + expenses
