Peer review: Regional Success

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is as important for photographers as it is for any other profession. I maintain and develop knowledge and skills through studying for further qualifications, exhibiting and entering internationally recognised competitions.

Personal projects are a very important part of the process and at any one time, I can be working on up to three self-commissioned projects.

Camera Unfriendly is an ARPS project I started working on in 2014. It explores the impact of CCTV on the individual and how makeup is used to protect privacy.

The project has already clocked up two successes: a gold medal in the Southern Federation championships and highest scoring print in the league.

Winter's Waif: Gold Medal portrait at SCPF

Brown Sugar: Highest Scoring Print in Southern Counties Division.
Selected for Regional Finals.

Does hot weather really attract more rats?

Image
While the UK sizzled in this summer’s heatwave there was some speculation that the country would be plagued by rats as a result. So is that the case? Does hot weather spell rat infestations? Not surprisingly a short spell of hot weather is not suddenly going to lead to a sudden, dramatic surge in the rat population. The concern more specifically is related to rubbish and the greater incidence of food being thrown away as it goes off more quickly in the heat. Rats , as it is well documented, are attracted to rubbish because it provides rich pickings for vermin scavenging for food. As a result of the heat experienced this summer the speed at which food goes off has increased, particularly where fruit and vegetables are concerned. Shorter shelf life for food encourages rats So while rats may be having a field day tucking into discarded apples and carrots, which will ultimately strengthen them, they are also having to search for water. In urban areas where food has become more ple...

Keep Those Pesky Pests at Bay This Winter

Keep your balcony and terrace views free from pigeons

Image
Having a bird’s eye view is wonderful, especially when you are spending more time at home, however, if birds actually decide to take up residence on your balcony or terrace you will need to take action. By their nature, balconies and terraces can become a natural attraction to some birds, offering shelter from the elements – and sometimes food too. While for some homeowners feeding the birds and spotting different species close up is a source of joy, this can also attract unwanted, pest birds, particularly pigeons, to visit in larger numbers. When are birds a problem on balconies and terraces? The close proximity that balconies and terraces have to the interior of homes means that any pest birds that may be attracted to them are also closer to your home. Many people will feel uncomfortable being in close proximity to birds and their presence alone can deter people from using their balcony and even make it feel out of bounds. More problematic though are the health risks, mess a...
