Flickr Challenge

Dragonfly © Jana Murray Once you have posted your photo, 'fave' another member 's photo that you like.

Ch allen ge 2: Sm ar t ph on e M acr o Our next challenge is called 'Sm ar t ph on e M acr o' and you can enter your images by clicking h er e.

The photo with the greatest number of 'faves' wins and, with your permission, the photo will feature on our website, in the next Southern Region Newsletter and on the Southern Region Facebook page.

You will note that we have named the group ?Smartphone Macro / Close-Up.? This is because when we created it the name ?Smartphone Macro? was already taken.

When you post an image please make sure that your name (and distinction if any) is in the details so that you can be credited.

You will need to have a Flickr account to be able to post your photo. If you don?t have an account it?s very easy to join up.

This challenge finishes on 12th June.

The next challenge starts on the same day and will be entitled 'Scen e f r om you r Exer cise Rou t e.'

Once you have clicked on the link, join the group.

The group appears in your groups on your account and from there you can post the image you want to share in the ?Smartphone Macro' group.

We will be in touch again just after the 12th June with the link for you to post your entry.

Online Dist inct ions Advice If you are considering embarking on a journey to achieve a distinction, LRPS, ARPS or FRPS, you can now seek online one-to-one advice on your panel by going to this RPS web page and signing up for a session. The cost is £20 for members, £25 for non-members. Click h er e for more information.

We will, of course keep you updated with details of our Distinctions Advisory Days and remaining events for 2020 when we know more about the new normality rules.
