Distinctions Group

In 2009/2010 this was one of two special interest groups set up for those members who wish to improve their skills and expertise in particular areas of photography. The other group is Natural History.

The Distinctions Group is open to all Club members who wish to gain photographic qualifications from the RPS and PAGB.

Rod Marsh is the co-ordinator for the Distinctions Group. His latest report is as follows:

distinctions group taking a breakAfter just over a year as a sub group of the Camera Club, the Distinctions Group had a very successful week in mid April. Four of the group submitted work for consideration by external bodies and all four achieved the standard required.
 
Congratulations go to Richard Spurdens who achieved tremendous success in being awarded DPAGB for his 15 prints at the latest adjudication weekend in Leighton Buzzard. 

Also successful at the same weekend where Phil Reeds and Rodney Marsh, both being awarded CPAGB for 10 prints each.

A few days later Peter Farmer submitted a Panel of 10 digital images to The RPS and was recommended for the award of LRPS.

This pleasing outcome justifies the collective efforts of all members of the distinctions group in providing constructive comments on potential groups of images put together by the candidates.  

distinctions group work in progress 2The group has grown from six members to ten at present.  Anybody interested in joining the group and pursuing a distinction should contact Rodney Marsh (01943 602142). 

We do not have a fixed schedule of meetings and tend to call a meeting when there is enough progress by some members to warrant getting together.  So far, we have held six meetings in 14 months.  We tend to meet on Monday evening.
