AV News 177 - August 2009
Mothing; was put together to
incorporate a voice-over. The images
were all taken in the back garden (apart
from Tom and the internet images) and
the music chosen seemed extremely
appropriate. The subject matter is also
something different and therefore
interesting for the viewer. The moth
images were all taken using a 100 mm
Macro lens with a 12 mm extension
tube and the Canon MT24 twin head,
lens mounted flash unit (for those interested in these things!).
The judges liked this sequence but added the comment that they thought
the ending could be improved.
Ripon Cathedral; is a wonderful place
to take photographs. There is a peace
and serenity in many of our old
churches and plenty of photographic
opportunities. The majority of the
images were taken in one day with a
couple more visits required to get some
of those missed opportunities. The first
image of the exterior slowly zooms in to
draw the viewer into the sequence and
the last image slowly zooms out as we
leave this fine historical place. The transition from the exterior to the interior
uses a third image again to draw the viewer into the Cathedral. There must be
many opportunities around the UK for this type of sequence.
Visiting the International AV Festival and various other events has been an
encouragement to progress in my AV work. The distinctions are a way of
working towards a goal, improving my photography, post image processing
and expanding my imagination. I would encourage anyone to join the RPS,
participate in the events and work towards the distinctions.
My next goal - ARPS! Why not come along and meet some great like minded
people. See you there?
We also congratulate the other
successful
applicants
from
November. The next RPS
Distinctions Panel will be held on
Saturday 3rd October at Bath.
Prospective
applicants
are
advised to read carefully all
