Bat conservation and the Universe

Paul Colley - wildlife photographer

From bats hunting at night to gigantic structures in the deepest reaches of space: hidden worlds revealed by innovative photography .

 Top Gun instructor turned wildlife conservation photographer Paul Colley is a former chairman of the British Society of Underwater Photographers, Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and winner of the British Wildlife Photography Awards.  His extraordinarily diverse portfolio of award-winning photography ranges from underwater wildlife in oceans and rivers to night infrared bat photography and most recently breathtaking images of deep space.  His talk will centre on conservation-related imagery for local bat groups but give a sneak preview of work in progress for his second fellowship with the Royal Photographic Society for which he has designed and built a remote control obseratory in Southern Europe
