A first for HorshamPS
Horsham PS member Eleanor Coate has gained her ARPS and, a first for the club, she has also gained a Gold Medal in the Portfolio section of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Photographic Competition. For her RHS medal Eleanor submitted six botanical prints titled ‘Where Art Meets Science’. She says, “My portfolio was inspired by the artists of the golden age of botanical painting. The RHS Lindley Library supported my research, providing the opportunity to see original works and first prints. My objective is to capture in a 21st- century medium the essence and purpose of this genre. Digital techniques including focus stacking and image blending have been used to provide the required level of detail and accuracy. All images were taken in my home.”

The images are on display in Settle shops and businesses until that date and then they will be transferred to Clapham Settle PG Beeston Club (Nottingham) is holding an exhibition of photography at the Canalside Heritage Centre, Beeston, Nottingham from 1 September to 31 October.
