Following on from my other thread on the 'journey' I'm undertaking with the Royal Photographic Society I thought I'd post the images and Hanging Plan too, along with an explanation; I was awarded the distinction of LRPS yesterday in Birmingham
For the L (Licentiate) award in prints, you need to show 10 mounted images showing a range of techniques that work as a cohesive panel. The Hanging Plan shows how they were arranged in 2 rows of 5 to create an initial 'image'
As I've not managed to figure out how to insert the photos into this thread this morning !!! lol - I've settled for a link to the TP Gallery they are in...

Generally, anyone aiming for this spends weeks, even months, shooting to put together a cohesive panel of images in a range of techniques to show technical competence and a level of artistic ability too. I even had advice from one LRPS chap who told me he took a year planning it and a year to shoot it, as well as attending 3 RPS Advisory Days too
So I set myself the challenge of shooting the entire panel in ONE DAY !!!
These are NOT a collection of my best images from my day out in Leeds, but they are the ones that sit best together - and that's important too
Why do it in one day???
Well, aside from proving it can be done, I'm also considering offering my mentoring services to help others to achieve this prestigious award - so if you're interested in having an aim to improving your photography - let me know and if there is enough interest I'll set up a new advert on here for a day's tuition & shooting
Oh - and all of these images were actually shot within 6 hours of starting - it was a good & fun day out
I've already shot a panel for the next level of Associate, which I'm aiming to do this year too. The ARPS is much harder to achieve so I did a 'test' shoot on a long weekend away in London in February, as it happens that test shoot's images look like they may turn out to be the actual panel - which is nice
Cheers
Dave
PS - I will post the photos individually when I find out how
