As would be expected, our photos on the theme of wheels included common forms of transport, but also play vehicles, a water wheel, large 'fairground’ wheels in city centres and a variety of very heavy and often vintage vehicles.
This month, instead of our usual meeting, some of us visited Highfields Park where we were rewarded with warm, sunny weather, ideal for photographing the lake and its surroundings as everything comes to life in the spring. It was a particularly good opportunity to photograph the very active birds looking good in their spring plumage, and there were even a few youngsters already on show. Even in such good conditions it can be challenging to capture exactly the image you hoped for when the subjects don’t stay still for long.
Our next meeting is on Wednesday, May 13, when we look forward to a visit from local wildlife photographer, Martin Basson. Looking further ahead, on June 10 we will look at our own pictures on the subject of ‘Animals’.
