Three days in one of Wales' most beautiful areas will provide opportunities for a wide range of photographic styles and interests - from the dams and the landscape around, through birdlife to the night sky.
Led by an experienced Travel Group member, who knows the area well and based at the Elan Valley Hotel within the Elan Estate with exclusive use of the hotel, this time in mid-Wales offers an opportunity for many different types of photography. The hotel has 9 rooms, most are double or twin, so can be either sole occupancy or shared.
The Savernake Forest is a captivating, ancient woodland located near Marlborough in Wiltshire. As one of the oldest forests in the country, it offers a rich and diverse environment for photography. As well as visiting some of the better-known locations in the forest we will also explore some of the less well visited areas that also offer wonderful photographic opportunities.
The day will be led by the internationally acclaimed landscape professional, Jeremy Walker. For more of Jeremy’s images please visit www.jeremywalker.co.uk
A number of Share and Chat gatherings have been held this year and are proving a useful means of finding out more about what those who attend would want from the Group and hearing about some of the less well known destinations members have visited. These sessions depend very much on Group member involvement. They are not recorded.
If you can offer an item for a future gathering, please contact David Short (travelevents@rps.org)
The next sessions are on 15.09.24 and 17.11.24 at 14.30 UK time. Each will last between an hour and a half and two hours. Book the date now. Registration details will be available nearer the time.
Dr. Colin Howard FRPS share his interpretation of Travel Photography and how his work has developed over the years.
Bodnath Stupa, Kathmandu, Nepal by Weng Sang Wong ARPS was selected by Jay Charnock FRPS
as the 2024 Travel Image of the Year.
Jay was impressed by the stillness at the centre of this image, embodying the central stillness saught by all Buddhists. Yet the busyness and noise around the central figure cannot be ignored, giving a very clear sense of place.

Selecting this as the best of the monthly competition winners for 2023, our judge, Jay Charnock FRPS said:
This is timeless. We know it was taken in 2023 but it could have been taken in the 1920s, 1930s or any time since. And it appealed to me because its timelessness and simplicity tell a story. The image is very carefully and cleverly put together with the photographer absolutely central looking through to the mountains beyond. It's deceptively simple and appealed to me because it is so atmospheric.
