The Group met at 10:30 a.m. on 8th September with the theme ‘Landscape’.
Five people attended. For such a wide subject there were several good treescapes and gates also featured heavily. Best picture was awarded to Pam Liberson for an avenue of trees near Stockbridge with effective shadows and dappled sunlight.

October’s theme will be ‘Golden Hour’. After some discussion, it was decided to not arrange an outdoor photoshoot but to go our own way – mainly because we could not agree on a venue as well as the variable weather at this time of year. John Hawke made some suggestions regarding near-sunset photographs emphasising soft shadow nuances and mellow portraits. Mike Liberson commented that ‘Golden Hour’ could also be interpreted as old age and nostalgia – cannot wait to see his interpretation of the theme!
Future themes for February, March and April 2026 will be ‘One Colour Four Pictures’, ‘My Valentine’ and ‘Spring’ respectively.
