A couple of months ago I signed up for a day out with Lizzie Shepherd on behalf of the RPS Landscape Group at Ribblehead and Kingsdale. I’ve had a base in the Yorkshire Dales for a few years now but I only get over to the western reaches a few times a year. This was an ideal opportunity to explore a couple of new photography locations. I’ve been to Ribblehead quite a few times but both the Cheese Press Stone and Thorns were new to me.

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.
RPS Creative Woodland Workshop
I recently attended an RPS Landscape Group workshop on Creative Woodland Photography. It was run by Mark Banks and was based in a woodland only a few minutes drive from my holiday home in the Yorkshire Dales.
RPS - Long Exposures on the Wirral
Having recently joined the RPS Landscape Group I decided to sign up for a day’s shoot on the Wirral Peninsula. We visited three locations; the Perch Rock lighthouse, New Brighton groynes and the West Kirby Marine Lake.
Alison Taylor LRPS
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.
