RPS Landscape Group

One member each month submits a RAW image for the other members to edit. It’s fascinating to see first-hand the techniques used by fellow members as they interpret the same starting image in a variety of different ways. This exposure to different editing styles and ideas expands your horizons and encourages you to try new techniques with your images. Processing groups meet over Zoom. The processing groups use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.

The four processing circles are managed by Irene Stupples, Jim Stupples, Leigh Foster and Peter Rothwell.

Critique Circles offer a structured way to develop your landscape photography. Each month, you send in one image for constructive feedback from other members. The critiques you receive go far beyond the quick reactions you'd get on social media: they offer real insight into how others see your work and what it communicates. Equally valuable is the process of critiquing other people’s photographs. It sharpens your eye, deepens your understanding of composition and intent, and ultimately improves your own photography. Some circles meet over email, others meet via Zoom. In addition to general landscape photography, there are specialist circles focusing on architecture and on intimate landscapes.

The Critique Circles are managed by David Travis, Martyn Bennett, Bill Daniels, Mark Sims, Candia Peterson, Greg Lovett, Steve Hartley, Jill Taylor, and David Fender.

Physical prints are circulated for constructive critique amongst the Print Circle members.

Printing and circulating your photographs among a community of photographers not only helps you grow as an artist but also provides a tangible experience that enhances the connection between you and your work.

The three print circles are managed by Diana Wynn, Doug Lodge and Adrian Gidney.

This circle is for photographers working on a long-term project. Rather than submitting unrelated images each month, you’ll share ongoing work, get feedback on how well your intentions are coming across, and explore ideas around sequencing, consistency, and meaning. It's ideal if you're building a panel, creating a book, preparing an exhibition, or just want to develop a more cohesive body of work. The circle runs on mutual feedback: you’ll review other people’s projects as they evolve, which helps sharpen your own editing and storytelling. The group meets monthly via Zoom and is aimed at photographers ready to dig a bit deeper.

The project circle is managed by Jean Robson.
