We were saddened to hear that Malcolm Ranieri FRPS passed away in October. We were honoured that Malcolm led the Steam Railway photography workshop during our 2018 Festival and appreciated his amazing passion and knowledge from planning it right through to the very last moment of the day itself. We extend our sincere condolences to his family.
