All RPS members are welcome to join the Travel Group.
The Group was formed to promote the enjoyment of travel photography: of trying to capture the spirit of places we visit and sharing that through photography. All our activities have the development of the skills necessary to achieve this at their core.
The Group is at its liveliest and most effective when there is discussion involving a wide range of members.
An opportunity to look at this well-known tourist venue with David Short - a Travel Group member and local resident - who has photographed it regularly for the last twenty years and knows its hidden places.
The day begins at 10.15 in time to watch the Guard changing and is likely to end about 5.00p.m. though much will depend on the interests and wishes of those who attend.
The Travel Group invited Margaret Salisbury FRPS to judge their annual competition.

From the twelve winners of the Group's monthly competition Offering on Rail Street by Alistair Cowan was selected as Best of the Year 2020
The judge, Margaret Salisbury FRPS, writes:
"The twelve images which won the monthly Travel Group Competition were all excellent images, very different and were from many different Genres, included the required “Sense of Place” and all were worthy winners. Choosing the winner from the twelve was extremely difficult but the January entry taken of the woman on the Railway Line in Vietnam, was outstanding.
An emotive picture of life of these people who live on and beside this Railway line, captured so well the lady cooking with enough of the environment to showed the sense of place and told the story so well. The face and expression captured brilliantly on this lined but lovely face. Every element and detail well composed, the bonus for me was the one small area of bright colour of the flames of the fire where she would cook her food. This image really does fit the old saying “One picture is worth a thousand words”.
Not just names: you can find out a bit more about each of us here and contact us with your ideas for the development of the Group.
We could also use a few non-Committee volunteers: could you help?
Members share their favourite places/experiences/shots.Your contribution would be welcome. Please send it to travelweb@rps.org.
Currently we have Lunar Rainbows at Iguassu, a corner of Canada and a memorable afternoon in Shanghai from members of the committee as well as a contribution from a new member detailing her love for Namibia and the photographic opportunities it presents.
Graham Vulliamy, a longtime member of the group, demonstrates how he puts together a permanent reminder of his travels.
