2025 began with January’s club night, when ten members shared a wide variety of images and experiences.
We started with Anna’s slideshow presentation recounting a whale-watching trip to Baja, California. Many creatures were featured, including birds, seals and sea lions, turtles and dolphins, and the sizes ranged from humpback whales to tiny crabs and lizards. Anna’s wonderful images gave a great flavour of a once-in-a-lifetime holiday.
Sue showed a selection of her still-life and nature images, including shadow and zoom-burst images, while Steve shared nature images and explained how going out in the early morning enabled him to capture new images of damselflies covered in dew drops.
Peter visited Arran and Mull last Autumn and his images included landscapes, stags, Honey Buzzard and Sea Eagle from those islands, while Georgina shared a variety including Chester Zoo, Rushen Players and one with her new camera.
James introduced his selection as “more birds and bikes”, which ranged from high-speed race action to a beautiful little Goldcrest. and Jim also showed us some race bike action interspersed with street and still-life images.
Jason showed us a trip to Norfolk last year and included the gardens and steam engines at Bressingham, Lynn’s selection included landscapes from the island and UK, a moody black and white indoor scene, and a group of members deep in concentration on an outing!
Duncan finished the evening with some nature and travel, including an insect caught in flight and birds singing.
It is always interesting to see and hear what fellow members like to photograph and nice to enjoy the photos in a relaxed, non-competitive setting. Thank you to everyone who took part!
