LRPS Introduction
This is a brief record of the events that led to my gaining an LRPS in 2009, it is offered as a guide to other enthusiastic photographers.
Join a camera club and adopt the standard club method for displaying your pictures.
(usually mounting them on 400 x 500 board)
Enter lots of club competitions and take note of the judges comments. You may not entirely agree with the judges comments and the judge may not always be correct, so don't get despondent.
Attend an LRPS advisory day. (cost about £15 but very important)
When mounting your panel of photographs make sure that the bottom of all the photographs are at the same level as each other.
Position your pictures in the mount with a slightly bigger space below the picture than above, be consistent with your mounting, don't have some pictures with black lines round them and some without, make them all the same.
Where possible make sure your panel has symmetry in both size and content.
If possible ask someone on the RPS advisory board to comment on your panel before submission.
Standards may change, what was accepted 5 years ago may not be accepted today.
An additional source of information can be found on the RPS website, there is a very helpful and instructional CD to assist people who are looking for help in submitting an 'L' application.
