Ten Thousand Hours Photography
10,000 Hours Deliberate Practice Learning the Art of Photography
On 11th October 2023 I was awarded an Associateship of the Royal Photographic Society in Landscape Photography for the above panel. This post documents the nearly 3 year journey from early ideas in January 2021 and first creating a panel of 15 images, to being able to put ARPS after my name.
As usual, please submit thoughts and comments through the Comments box below. Thank you.

This post shows the images used in my successful AFIAP application. It is hoped that this is useful in showing the standard of images that can get through, and the process required to gain this distinction.

Do I have 10 images that 6 judges consider to be “Good Club Photography”?

Following “The first 2,500 Hours Review at 25%“, one of my goals for the next 2,500 hours is to achieve my CPAGB. This is a key part of both getting feedback from the field, and measuring the progress I’m making towards the goal of becoming a more proficient photographer.
Unlike the LRPS, which I achieved on my second attempt earlier this year (see: “My Successful LRPS Resubmission”), where the creation of a panel is required, the CPAGB simply judges ten images individually. Images have to be impactful in their own right; only 2 images from my LRPS panel were considered strong enough to make the grade.
6 of the images to be submitted have been created in the last 6 months. The other 4 pre-date my 10,000 hour project, albeit with a little bit of post processing adjustment.
The post is based on the advice given during an informal advisory day organised by the Amersham Photographic Society for the 15 or so of its members who will be applying for a PAGB distinction this November.

[Read more…]OK, cutting straight to the chase, this time I passed and, for as long as I continue to pay the Royal Photographic Society their membership fees, I am entitled to refer to myself as a licentiate and use the letters LRPS after my name. The title, LRPS Resubmission, however implies that this was not my first attempt. So this post is really a sequel to the “Failed LRPS Submission” post of October, last year.
