13th June: Hatch End Photoshoot

What a lovely way to spend a warm June evening out and about on Hatch End Hight Street with our cameras.   Thanks to Judith Gimber for briefing us on the challenge which was ‘shadows’.   A simple brief, use an empty card and take up to six images in Jpeg  Fascinating how, like walking a cute dog, cameras attract people, making for a very convivial and interesting evening.  We re-convened at the Guide Hall for a show and tell and feedback session. Many thanks to Avril Candler for running the images – naturally not everyone stuck to the ‘rule of six……..

Thanks to all who came along for an enjoyable evening.

Next week, to the relief of Hatch End residents,  we are back in the Guide Hall for our Print of the Year and Nature competitions which will be judged by Peter Cox.

In the meantime, enjoy the weather and stay cool.
