Having gained my LRPS in February 2005 I decided to attempt the ARPS distinction in September 2005. In this gallery I have shown the images from my successful ARPS Documentary panel. My LRPS panel was on the theme of "motorsport”, although in fact an LRPS panel is not required to have a theme. My original intention was simply to add a further five prints to the ten LRPS prints but in the end for the sake of variety and to achieve a balanced panel only five of the original LRPS prints were retained.

If anyone is considering attempting an RPS distinction full details appear on www.rps.org. My grateful thanks also to Andy Moore, Qualifications and Distinctions Deputy Manager, for his patient help and advice in getting my panel together.
