We enjoyed another lively and fascinating meeting and with a good attendance we shared numerous avenues of photographic expression.
There were many excellent sets of work from our members with a wide range of subject matter ranging from an art school in Bhutan to the nostalgic remnants of life in a family home to the recreation of a dramatic 'still movie frame' and many other examples of great observational photography. We also enjoyed an excellent short AV about Ribbleshead Viaduct and its place in the landscape. The gallery below illustrates something of the rich tapestry we enjoyed.

Here Eric explores close-up work which is beyond the usual, safe, 'comfort zone ' of his traditional approach. And very successfully too.

Barriers and those who interact and sometimes pass through are a constant source of inspiration.
