In Another Light

The club’s Infra Red Special Interest Group has just returned from a wonderful weekend away photographing the surreal promontory of shingle, Dungeness, which  sits in the shadow of two nuclear plants on a headland on the south part of Romney Marsh.

The skeletons of old boats piercing the horizon, graffitied abandoned huts, the world’s smallest public railway, wartime acoustic mirrors and two lighthouses all proved great subject matter as did the nearby town of Rye where many of us stayed and the beautiful petite 12th century Fairfield Church.

Many thanks to the group’s leader Susi Petherick for organising.

Richmond and Twickenham Photographic Society invites you to its Annual Exhibition

Landmark Arts Centre, Teddington, Middlesex TW11 9NN

14-24 April 2022  (including weekends & Bank holidays)
Daily: 10am – 5pm

Admission £2.50 (Children free)

If you are interested in finding out more about the club and our work, then come along to our Annual Exhibition which will be returning to the Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington, from 14 to 24 April 2022. Once again the RPS’s Visual Art Group will be joining the event with a display of its 2022 Print Exhibition.

 There will be hundreds of images on display with a range of genres and creative techniques from a society which is one of the oldest and largest in the country. Images from pupils at St. Catherine’s School for Girls in Twickenham will also be on show.

Most of the prints will be available to buy, with a selection of greetings cards and second hand photographic books and equipment and tea and coffee will be available in the Landmark café where visitors can watch an additional display of digital images.

The Society has around 100 members from beginners to professionals.  Some members will be displaying panels of images which recently gained them distinctions from the RPS and PAGB and there will also be displays from the club’s Special Interest Groups including Post Processing, Infra red, Nature, Monochrome, Pictorial, Studio and Creative Eyes.

The club meets every Thursday at 8 p.m. at St. Luke’s Kew Community Centre, the Avenue, Kew, TW9 2AJ plus mid week meetings for the special interest groups. There is a two month summer break in July and August. www.rtps.org.uk.  New members are warmly welcomed.
