• Bradford Abbas Shield 2023: The Club made a very decent showing - 3rd place - out of 5, but only 1 point behind 2nd place, and just 2 points behind 1st place shows what a close competition it was. Congratulations to Shaftsbury Camera Club who were the winners. Congratulations also go to Steve Cooper for his photo "Afternoon on the Levels" which was out top scorer with 18 points. (Click on any image in the slideshow to see it enlarged).
The theme for the 2024 competition has now been decided: "Trees" ..... which, for the avoidance of doubt, means: "One tree or more or part thereof". So, there we are - let's get out there taking some photos - there's trees in all seasons of the year to choose from!Visitors are welcome to join us for in-person and/or for zoom meetings - please e-mail for further details. Meanwhile our Monthly Challenges continue to run on-line with the images also being shown at our 1st Wednesday club nights.
• We meet at the Blake Hall, South Petherton for our face-to-face meetings: it is located in the 'The Square' in the centre of the village, between The Brewers Arms and St Peter and St Paul's church. TA13 5BT for your sat-nav. There is usually plenty of parking in the streets close by. Please note that there is a significant staircase to negotiate from the main entrance - there is a chair lift, so please let us know if you need any assistance gaining access.

The winning entry was this clever image by Derek Groves "Spherical Reflections" - a well-spotted opportunity that hits the brief perfectly.
• October 16th Zoom Meeting: Stephanie Johnson 'ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) Photography)’
Stephanie is the founder, creator, and publisher of ICM Photography Magazine (ICMPhotoMag)...a first-of-its-kind e-magazine solely featuring ICM images, articles, reviews, interviews, tips, and tutorials, by ICM photographers and artists around the world, in a quarterly feature packed digital format.
Stepanie says about herself: "After traveling to Ireland many times to immerse myself in the landscape and to preserve my visions of the land with my camera, returning home to the US Midwest always left me feeling less connected to the land of my home surroundings, and that is when I turned to ICM. The idea of intentional camera movement inspired me to think outside the box, to get out into the landscape where I am, and to create my own unique visions of the natural world right where I am."
Each month the club members are set a photo challenge to produce digital images on a set topic. The images are then reviewed at a subsequent club night and voted on to select the winner (who gets a round of applause and our heartfelt admiration).
