Re: #226 Autumn

John Chappell: Nice autumn red and orange colours making the subject really stand out in this image, and a great bokeh effect too.

#226 Autumn

The closing date is Sunday 27th October at midn...

Re: #225 INSPIRED BY QUEEN (THE GROUP OF COURSE)

Thanks, Mike – there were some real good entries for this one – it’s hard to pick a favourite, but I love the humour in the one by Gordon Armstrong! I'll get my thinking cap on now for a new topic!

Re: Saturday Morning Workshop, 27th July 2019

Thanks John, and for your and Sue's input too. Despite me passing on what I know, there were contributions from you, Sue, Adam, Simon and Gordon on how to carry out certain tasks that I wasn't aware of, so it just shows the value of these workshops - everyone learning from each other. Long may they ...

Re: #222. Water

John Chappell is on holiday in France (...when is he not?... :D ), and therefore he has asked me to pass on his choice of the winner in this competition. His comments are as follows: "Not many to choose from but also not an easy choice. I've gone for Northumbrian Coast by Alan Kemp. Great shutt...

#222. Water

John Chappell is away on holiday and wasn’t aware that he had won the forum competition, so I messaged him and reminded him to select the next topic, for which he choose “water”. However, John is having trouble accessing the Forum, so I volunteered to set up the next competition for him. I’ll also p...
