RPS Talk-Walk-Talk Visit to South Gare

The RPS have been running a project including a preliminary talk, a photographic shoot and then feedback with the rest of the group. The topic was coastal photography and of course I signed up.

The visit I selected was to South Gare and Paddy’s Hole as I haven’t been for a few years. Usually there is one other person and a tripod at the location when I visit but on this particular day the whole promontory was rammed with bird watchers looking out for the brown booby that had erroneously made it’s way to the UK from India. If I was venturing so far from home I wouldn’t choose South Gare as my resort but there is no accounting for what birds do.

A few people have asked me about the process of applying for the LRPS Distinction and my motivation for doing so.  Whilst I had some experience of editing photographs in digital software I was a complete novice when it came to printing and preparing prints for exhibition.  I joined York Photographic Society to learn from other members through discussion and feedback via project nights, competitions and exhibitions.
