I was lucky enough to enjoy shooting four days of street photography in London UK. I was like a child in a sweetie store with images popping out all around me. Shooting 12 hours a day gives you the opportunity to capture life on the streets. With a Fuji XT4 and a Fuji X100V you have everything you need to capture some mesmerising images. I can’t wait to get back again but I think the next trip for an extended period shooting street images will be in Dublin.
A Trip to Dartmoor
During a recent workshop a few friends and I took the opportunity to explore different areas and capture the local scenery in this national park. Dartmoor is. special place and for this trip I took two cameras. The Fuji infrared converted camera and my trusty Sony A7R3. As conditions were mainly bright the Fuji came out on top with a different perspective being discovered on Dartmoor through the medium of Infrared.

Associate of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS)
After two years of work I have been been approved as a Associate of the RPS (ARPS). An ARPS distinction is the second highest level in the Royal Photographic Society (RPS) with only a fellowship being higher. To achieve this you have to be project focused and put together a coherent panel of 15 images. With this a Statement Of Intent (SOI) has to be prepared describing the meaning of the panel. My panel was based on the enclosure of Zoo animals and their inherent beauty. So although they were trapped by the frames of the images they are still creature to be admired. Next steps are to consider if I will take on the work to a obtain a fellowship.
