This week Donal McCann FRPS will explain what photographic distinctions are available through the RPS and IPF, along with how to work towards them.
Then Gareth O'Cathain, Paul McGivern and Brian Maguire, who all achieved their LRPS distinctions during the 12/13 season will talk about their journeys working towards their accreditation.
Last night was the first proper session of the this season and we kicked things off with a packed session.
Karen McCrea gave a great presentation on the basics of photography. For those that are still struggling with the juggling act you might find this cheatsheet useful, it's a handy resource for your camera bag and was found here.
Donal McCann FRPS then gave a fascinating talk on distinction panels, specifically RPS and IPF distinctions. We were treated to a selection of club members who displayed and discussed their distinction panels;
Brian Bennett discussing his A panel
Brain's ARPS Panel
Next up Jim Moreland FRPS FBIPP talked about the RPS and Fellowship panels.
Finally Ross McKelvey ARPS DPAGB BPE2 discussed PAGB and FIAP distinction routes.
Here is a handout detailing RPS assessment dates throughout 2012/2013.
The Committee would like to extend its thanks to everyone that helped to setup and clear away the room. As you can see, with such a large turnout that help is invaluable in ensuring that we kick off and finish in good time. There'll be plenty to do throughout the year and we'd ask that people pitch in as and when they can. Thank you.
