We have entered the nature section and here is a selection of our images. So far we have 14 images from five club photographers but only the top 10 scoring images will count.

Len wins RPS Gold Medal

By Conor News 2 Comments

Club photographer Len Claydon has just won a Gold medal and had two other exhibition acceptances at the recent Royal Photographic Society Projected Image competition. His medal was for coming top of the Open Colour section for his “Girl on the Balcony” image. From around 1000 entries, only 200 are selected for exhibition, three of which were Len’s. The images are published in the monthly RPS DIGIT magazine for December. Very well done Len, a great achievement.
