Comments on Mary's photography

“Mary Talbot’s presentation ‘Seeing Beyond the Familiar - Enhancing Your Photographic Experience’ was one of the best summaries of everything we ever learned about photography: how to follow the established rules — and also how to break them with amazing effects. Her easygoing style and excellent arrangement of slideshows and explanatory pictures remains an inspiration for all present to continually practise and improve our photographic skills. Ron Visockis expressed our Group’s gratitude for the outstanding presentation, which combined audio and visual artistry for a memorable learning experience.” George Wand, Brighton Photo Group, October 2, 2013

"Twist, turn, rotate, move in”; no, it wasn’t a dance lesson, it was Mary Talbot’s presentation on Feb 5th. . . . This was her 7th presentation to PPS and yet every time she amazes us! Her use of multiple exposures, camera movement and zooming was an art form in itself." from The Viewfinder,  Peterborough Photographic Society: February 2013, by Brian Crangle, Program Director,
