Club night tomorrow, 22nd.
Do come along to help us select about 100 images out of 100’s submitted into the last rolling year’s competitions. We will be up against stiff opposition later in the year, in external battles, so we need to pick the best of the best. Vote your red or green cards to help our selection committee whittle it down to the final chosen ones at a later date. Have your say.

If you’d like done hints and tips on night photography then Keith will be sharing information in preparation for the field trip to Lyveden in July. Still time to get your name down to join the group. All details are in your emails.

Field trip.
Some members met up at Kettering cricket club last Saturday. With 2 matches and teams playing from Kettering, Olney and Wellingborough, our members had plenty of time in the very warm sunshine to get plenty of practice at action shots / sports photography. With ongoing help between the members with settings and vantage points everyone was very pleased with the shots they got.
Thank you to Monique for arranging another successful field trip.
Here are a few images from the day.
