Week beginning 14th October, members were treated to an insight into what inspired Chrissie Hart, as she pursued her ARPS distinction.  The lesson she illustrated so well, was that you don't need to go very far from home to find interesting subjects.  Her ARPS panel was photographed entirely in her garden.  Chrissie modestly described herself as a 'failed watercolourist'.  When she had gone as far as she could with painting, she discovered that she could go so much further with photography and many years on, finds that she is still learning all the time.  Her images, whilst based in the natural world, are developed using layers, textures and blending modes in Photoshop, into abstracted and painterly images of a fantasy world.   A very good talk and many beautiful images (projected and in print) plus step by step through the processing of a single image.  An excellent evening.
