New slet ter WELCOME
Fawn in Wildflowers ŠAndy Holmes Hello all and welcome to the fourth, final and very brief newsletter in the series of our Covid-19 photography challenges. Thank you to all those who took part in the challenges. I for one enjoyed the creative and considered images that were entered. The third (and last) challenge ?Scenes from your Exercise Route? again produced a ?close call?but worthy winner ? Andy Holmes with his image titled ?Fawn in Wildflowers?. Congratulations Andy. Andy?s winning image will be featured in our next full newsletter, on our web page on the RPS website and on our Facebook page. Now the lockdown is stuttering to a general re-opening of the UK and we can all get out and socialise in a safe way, our images will no longer be about lockdown but about returning to some kind of normal. We will keep you updated with details of our remaining events for 2020. In the meantime, read on for details about online events. Stay safe, Paul Cox ARPS, Regional Organiser, Royal Photographic Society, Southern Region 1
