The Rucksack's Club Winter Lecture Series (http://www.blog.rucksackclub.org/?p=3222
Lecture Date: Tuesday 11 February, starting at 7.30pm
Location: Heatons Sports Club, Green Lane, Stockport, SK4 2NF
Robbie Shone is an award winning caving photographer who has developed a worldwide reputation for mastering the challenges that cave photography has to offer.
Over the past ten years, Robbie has lit up and captured stunning images of the naturally pitch black world beneath our feet. His work has featured in national and international publications including National Geographic, GEO and Red Bulletin, and in recent years he has been interviewed for BBC World News and The Weather Channel. Robbie?s exciting expedition photography has taken him to the remotest areas of China, Papua New Guinea, Borneo, the Picos, the Alps and Crete, photographing the ?deepest?, ?largest?, ?longest? cave systems known.
He?s hung on a thin rope, photographing 200m above the floor in the world?s deepest natural shaft; explored the far ends of a 189 km long cave system; and spent a continuous 94 hours underground, in order to photograph the first cave to hold the 1 km depth record.
Robbie is not restricted to cave photography, with several of his wildlife, travel and landscape images achieving finalist status in highly acclaimed international travel and wildlife competitions. Film and television crews including BBC ?Earth ? The Power of the Planet?, ?Ultimate Caving? and ?Blue Peter? have called upon these skills.
