For those not familiar with it, the Royal Photographic Society was founded in 1853 and is the foremost photographic society in the world http://www.rps.org/
The Holography Group has been going since 1983 and I have been the Treasurer all that time.
We have held regular meetings, organised conferences and exhibitions and been addressed on a wide variety of subjects by holographers from all around the world.
In the past year we held a conference on the subject of Holography in the Modern Museum at De Montfort University, Leicester http://river-valley.tv/conferences/himm2008/
and members of the group made a hologram of one of the most famous timepieces in the world, Harrison's Chronometer, at Greenwich Maritime Museum
At last night's meeting we agreed to send one of our members, Jeff Blyth, to the ISDH in China; discussed ideas for other holographic subjects the group could tackle and came up with suggestions for a number of speakers that could address the group in the following year. We also found time for a few glasses of wine and to view Martin Richardson's current exhibtion
For those with a wide interest in the art and science of photography, the RPS offers many benefits among which is the opportunity to apply for a Distinction in the subject of your choosing, including holography
