Well, that was The Societies of Photographer's annual convention over for another year.  The largest all-welcome photographic convention in Europe, and attended by over 10,000 photographers from all over the world.  And what a fantastic convention it was!

So, what did we learn?

1. Learn about photography.  Learn from the array international judges, and look and learn by seeing the photography of others through different eyes.

2. If you can't learn how to improve your photography - then pray!

3. Take images.  Make them your own images.  Practice doesn't make prefect, but it can make it better.

4. Show them around!

5. Point it out and shout about it.  If they can't hear you, then grab a microphone.

6. If you can't get it right, then blame someone else!

7. If that still doesn't work, then put your head in your hands.  Even if you are on stage - don't worry, no-one will see you!

8. Take a deep breath and count to three.

I know that's a pretty light-hearted look at what we did in London, and hope it brought a few smiles to everyone who was there.  If you missed it, and want to know more, then find out about The Societies of Photographers here - The Societies of Photographers
