Chris Ellison LRPS

I joined Leyland Photographic Society at the start of the 2009 season which coincided with me finishing work. I haven't regretted it for a single moment, and my photographic hobby has now turned into a passion.

Since becoming a member I have learnt so much which in turn has improved the quality of my images . I always participate in the competitions as the feedback is immensely useful. Also, I have attended the practical nights which have done wonders to remove the mystery of using Adobe Photoshop.

The Sunday workshops gave me the enthusiasm and confidence to submit a panel to the RPS in the hope of achieving an accreditation. On 7th March I travelled to the NEC where judging was being held alongside the Focus On Imaging event . To My absolute delight I was awarded my LRPS. Thanks go to other friends and members of the club for their support during the whole process, and I can honestly say that I would never have achieved it without them.
