As a precursor to the start of the new season, a Zoom familiarisation evening was held which gave members the opportunity to practice and experiment with some newly acquired software and its capabilities.

A competition was run with members submitting three images of Open subject matter and attendees used the voting facility to select a winner. Congratulations to Adam Kowalczyk for his winning image of a startled robin.

As might have been forecast, some technical issues arose but hopefully these have been ironed out and everyone is now more confident and capable in using Zoom Meetings. Thanks to Jim Bullock for managing the session and sharing his expertise.

We were invited by Cricklade Camera Club to join them and Lambourn Camera Club in the audience for a presentation by Ken Scott. Ken has embarked upon a special journey since 2008 when he started making a picture a day, which he has continued for 12 years and amassed over 4600 images in the process. Initially freeing himself from a number of preconceptions, he shared how the observations and insights that he acquired along the journey had changed the way he viewed the world. An absorbing, thought provoking and reflective presentation.
