DISTINCTION SUCCESS
Jayne Winter FRPS The editor had the pleasure of posing a few questions to Jayne Winter FRPS about her recent distinction success. Hopefully, some of the answers Jayne gives will help current group members who are considering taking the next step on the distinctions ladder.
Photography has been my passion for many years, starting in film days when my dad bought me a second-hand Pentax Spotmatic from the first Jessops store in Leicester. I moved on to Canon AE1 Programme SLRs and later a Nikon F100, before going digital with a Nikon D50 in 2006. I currently use a Nikon D850 and a Z6 with a variety of lenses. I also have an infrared-converted Nikon D90. I’ve been a member of various camera clubs during that

time: I am currently Competition Secretary of Kempsey Camera Club and am also a member of Worcestershire Camera Club. Until recently, I ran my own High Street business for nearly 20 years; a bookshop with gallery wall space, which allowed me to successfully sell prints and greetings cards of the local area, as well as some of my Fine Art work. Post-Covid, I now sell online only.
My main photographic interest is landscape but I also enjoy flower and macro work, creative, black and white and infrared photography. My favourite landscape locations are the Highlands and Islands of the West coast of Scotland, especially during winter when the conditions are often challenging but very rewarding.
