Malmesbury Photography Evening

On Tuesday 13th August, we had our 10th Summer Photography Evening.

The Abbey was photographed as usual, however part of the Abbey is being repaired and the workmen were busy setting up the scaffolding. But the view from the gardens (not the ones with the naked gardener) was still un-cluttered.

A nice walk around the Town, and it is quite easy to see how much history there is in these small market towns that is normally missed. On a nice evening, there was a game of bowls being played which was a good photographic opportunity.

Finishing of at the weir where there was plenty of great angles for that competition winning shot.

Cricklade Photography Evening

On Tuesday 6th August, we had our 9th summer photography evening at Cricklade. As this was Allan’s home town, we were treated to a very interesting tour of the local area.

During the evening, there was many opportunities to photograph the sights, including the Church, High Street and River Thames just to mention a few stops.IMG_3339 IMG_3386

 

Photography evening at Cirencester

Well, what a fab evening it turned out to be. There was a total of 4 of us. Mark, Lynda, Alan, and Andrew. We all found each other by the Church, and took a number of photographs around the Church.

Then we walked around the town, taking in the sights, and enjoying the conversations on various topics, of course stopping now and again to take photographs. We walked all the way to the outdoor pool, which was shut, and was going to enjoy the riverside walk, but it should be a trickle side walk.

If anything came out of tonight’s visit, it was that at least one of us, will be going back again to photograph various aspects of the town in different lighting conditions, which is great.

To be honest, this is exactly what I had in mind, when I set up these evenings. Photography, mixed with social interaction with fellow club members, just great I do not think it can’t be beaten.

Once we had photographed enough, we decided to meet up at the Greyhound at Siddington, as they had a great outdoor garden, and what an end to an totally enjoyable evening. I hope that you enjoy the next tuesday, which is Lechlade, but I can’t make it as that day is my dreaded 50th.
