Congratulations to Neil Holman of Afan Nedd CC who came second in the Country Walking magazine Outdoor Photographer of the Year Competition with the image below.
Ron Lines recently published some advice in the WPF Facebook Group for any WPF members thinking about going for any of the FIAP Distinctions so we thought we’d reproduce it here.
Does anyone have a completed FIAP distinction application? I’ll be closing the books for this year’s applications soon.
