Yesterday I was informed that my panel of pinhole images has gained me my Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society. To say I am please is an understatement!

Not only was it all made on film, I am also led to believe that this is the first time someone has gained this accolade with a pinhole camera!

Congrats, Paul. Accolades are well deserved.

Very impressive Paul, congratulations!

Paul Mitchell · « **Reply #3 on:** May 31, 2014, 01:43:12 PM »

Many thanks! It took a while to put together, the worst part was leaving out some of my favourites to create a cohesive panel.

Major congratulations, Paul; no less than you deserve.

Stunning work. Is there a book in the offing, perchance......??

These are too good for the RPS, ive seen some right crap get accepted by them from some of our club members

That is excellent news and well deserved. We shall now address you as:

Mr P Mitchell, Esq, FRPS and MP

Well done Paul. A fantastic achievement ... And to be the first at something in the RPS makes it all the more special.

Well-deserved congratulations. I hope the honor includes a large fancy hat and the right to wear it publicly.

minicoop1985 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 01, 2014, 05:03:09 PM »

Awesome, congratulations! These are, in all honesty, the best pinhole photos I have ever seen, so this comes as no surprise.

irv_b · « **Reply #24 on:** June 01, 2014, 05:29:13 PM »

Saying well done doesn't seem to convey how brilliant an achievement this is! As the kids would say while doing a chin jut "much respect" !!

Well done Paul.

Indeed Gary... there's a big clue in the RPS name i.e. 'photographic' not DI for 'digital illustration'

I will be seeing Her Maj next week so I'll ask...

Joking aside I'd like to thank everyone for your responses, it is much appreciated.

Club copetitions do my head in 3 years ago I was winning lots of club competitions when I gave up on digital my marks went down to 15 at best because there was too much noise in my film images but they better watch out with my new A7 it's got me back shooting digital but will still shoot more film
