March 2024 Newsletter The days are lengthening, the weather is improving, the light is gaining in general intensity, and as our hobby depends on light, then that is a good thing for us all. I know there are nocturnal images to be had, and that bad weather can be quite exciting to photograph, but I’d guess that most of us prefer daylight and at least dryness above us. Bring it on. This month is also your last chance to get tickets for PhotoFest 24, which takes place on 6/7th April. The Saturday is Speakers Day, and the Sunday is Members Day, and it would be great to see as many as possible at one or both days. This year’s AGM is mainly an online one for most members, although if you are at PhotoFest 24 on the Sunday you will be able to attend in person. I’d heartily encourage you to at least attend online, and de nitely to get any questions or suggestions or comments to the Committee. RPS Scotland is all about you, and this is your chance to have your say. We are looking for a Secretary in particular, so if you want to help please get in touch. There will be full support and help for the lucky photographer, and I can say that I’ve enjoyed a good 3 years in post. Our Annual Exhibition is being selected on the 7th April from 14.00, and you can come along to that, or enter your prints via another photographer, or by post, and again this is a good chance to be an active part of RPS Scotland, even if you can’t attend in person.
