Hello from Lancashire

[jeffworsnop]

I have rejoined the forum and hope to be an ok contributor.

Do mainly landscape but other ad hoc pictures. Use Sony camera with LR4 / Elemets 11 and a Canon A3+ printer. My biggest enjoyment is making a decent print. I have got an LRPS distinction but now don't know how to get a topic and the necessary skills to do an ARPS panel - the most difficult thing is, I find, the thought behind the picture or series of pictures. I am a camera club member but sometimes wonder why.

Next big event is a photo course on the Isle of Eigg in April from which I hope to learn a lot about how to visualise pictures, organise compositions and improve technique. I'll practice on those things on holiday at Sandsend in a couple of weeks time.

My IT skills are not good so I may struggle to use the forum properly but I'll try my best.

I am long retired from earning a living.

Welcome Jeff. An LRPS Distinction puts you many, many streets beyond me. Hope you enjoy the forum :-)

I don't think so.

It only means that the RICS think I am a competent photographer based on a panel of 10 photos. Committing to do it made me get of my backside and do something.

I think few professional photographers bother with distinctions!

Welcome Jeff, look forward to seeing some shots - was in Sandsend tunnel the other week, enjoy your holiday

Sandsend tunnel?

Where inSandsend is it?

I did a good explore there last year but the only tunnel I am aware of is the blocked up railway tunnel N of Sandsend.

So did I. The very difficult parking and long long intervals sat twiddling my thumbs put me off.

Don't go to Chorley PS. They are far too good for me to participate.

I go to Leyland. Comfortable and not too challenging to enter comps - but I am the only entrant in beginners prints and I can't get promotion until 2017 and no promotion possible in PDIs until 2017.

I liked the folk and approach to photography at Blackburn PSbut they moved to Samlesbury airfield which is not at all easy for me to get to.
