The gradual easing of lockdown restrictions has given us the chance to start getting back to some semblance of normality.

Whether it was enjoying last week's good weather or the Easter weekend, our camera club members took the chance to capture more pictures that illustrate the current theme of 'getting back to a new normal'.

These improvements have provided plenty of opportunities for our camera club members to get out and take pictures that capture the new theme of ‘getting back to a new normal’. You can enjoy a selection of them by scrolling down this page.

The Watford Observer Camera Club is a Facebook-based group. It is open to all photographers – from those who use snap pictures on their phones, to professionals who capture perfect shots with specialist equipment.

Every month, the camera club is set a new challenge, a theme is selected and then the work starts.

Search for Watford Observer Camera Club on Facebook. Ask to join the group and we’ll accept you.
