RPS Newsletter

It is worth looking at this Newsletter especially Graham Chubb. There is a photo there that reminds me of one Graham's photos. If you click on the photo it links to a lot more information. This link idea seems to work for most of the photos.
I like the top picture of a tree all in blue. The link takes you to more examples of the competition images.

SCC country walk 27th June 2015

Good news Sally has agreed to allow camera club members to roam over her farm on Saturday the 27th June from 2pm until darkness.
If you have never been to her farm it is quite special having wide open landscape views across waving fields of tall grasses. Also dead cars buried in the undergrowth. Plus all the things you find on farms such as chickens and horses but now cows or sheep.
All we need is good weather and a camera.
Directions will be given later.
Below is a photo I took on a previous occasion in Infra Red. Sally's pooch in the foreground. Click on image to enlarge.
