I have been taking photos all my adult life. The usual, send them away to Truprint and be totally underwhelmed by the results. Then in 2010 I went on a six weeks beginners course for digital photography. This introduction to digital totally changed things for me.Then a friend suggested I join GPS. I was told I would meet some talented photographers and this would improve my photography. Although I will try any type of photography my main interest is in sports and recently people. As in studio type shoots.
I wanted to challenge myself, so I went in for Distinctions with the RPS. I gained my Licentiate in 2018 and am currently working on my Associate. I also received my Credit award from the PAGB in 2019.GPS is a great club with some very talented members. I encourage anyone who wants to improve to give us a go.
