Royal Photographic Society

Have just joined the RPS and hope to do either the Licentiateship or Associateship (in Nature Photography) depends on the standard I reach next year.

My gallery can be seen on the RPS site so take a look.

Crawley Comps

I was placed joint first in the Projected Digital Image competition atthe camera club, so now I am in the advanced group!
Am busy sorting out images for the next seasons competitions, will try to enter the print ones too. I have had some prints mounted by a local picture framer and will wait til after the first print round before selecting more.

Didn’t do as well this year in the club competitions, I am amongst some very talented and experienced photographers.

Camera Club

I put in 4 of my images for the Digital Image competition third round.
The third round had a very lenient judge and several people got 20′s, including three of my images, the fourth got 19 – so again I was extremely pleased.
Next year I will – no doubt – be in the advanced group so need even better images.
With this in mind I have just ordered a Canon 50D DSLR.

Crawley Camera Club

I have joined Crawley Camera Club and entered my first competition. Projected digital images, it was round 2 orf a 3 round competition – missed round one. Very pleased with the results – one maximum mark of 20; 2 of 19 and 1 of 16; total 74 out of 80 – the higest mark of the round. The photos can be seen on my Flickr page.

Fungus hunting

Photography is certainly educational, I have been tracking down the fungi in our local woodland. There has been numerous debates about what these are – Wild About Britain have some knowledgeable people scratching heads, as has ispot ( the OU site).

Mycena pura or rosea

Anyway I think they may be the pura as very pale pink and situated in a mixed broadleave woodland.
