GOOD PICTURE ONLINE 2025
For over 20 years the Imaging Science Group of the RPS has hosted an annual series of 1 day symposia under the title “Good Picture” on selected technical aspects of Imaging. Unfortunately, due to ever rising costs, the Group is unable to continue to sponsor these meetings without unacceptably large increases in delegate’s fees. Therefore the Group committee has decided to replace them with a series of shorter meetings via Zoom.
The Group is planning to run at least 2 of these meetings per year and they will be free to attend.
Our first online Good Picture Symposium took place on Saturday 18th October 2025

Adrian Davies MSc, ARPS, Freelance Photographer, Lecturer and Author
In a previous talk at this event Adrian showed how reflected and fluorescence UV photography could reveal
invisible signals on flowers and other plants, to attract pollinators. In this talk Adrian will show how a range
of photographic techniques can reveal various plant behaviours such as spore and seed dispersal, plant growth and movement.
Photography by Synthetic Aperture Radar
Dr Alan Hodgson ASIS FRPS, Alan Hodgson Consulting Ltd
Synthetic Aperture Radar has an interesting history as a photographic imaging technique, ranging from
military to cultural heritage use. This presentation will explain the technique in a non-mathematical fashion,
drawing on parallels with more familiar techniques such as aerial photography, holography and medical
doppler ultrasound.
