Lockdown photography
The camera club I belong to has a fair number of over 70s and others who are shielding. We have been meeting every week using Zoom. On a Tuesday evening a theme is set for the following week. All photographs entered must have been taken between the announcement of the theme and the judging [also done on zoom]. Everyone one can enter three images. Mine are shown in the gallery section under the title ‘Lockdown’. I have included all the images which I considered for entry. The club has met on a Friday to have an advice session where we can share images we didn’t submit and receive constructive criticism. Sunday night meeting is just a ‘blether night’.

New Camera for Cathie
Bought a new camera for Cathie – Canon Powershot SX270HS. Tried it out in the garden – good colour balance – and quick focus. Advantage is that it has exposure compensation so could adjust for backlight subjects etc. Getting a chance to try it our more at the weekend. Very pleased with it so far. Not quite a pocket camera – but compact dimensions and perhaps just over 2 cm thick.
Windermere
Having visited the United reformed Church Windermere Centre several times over the last 3 years I now have a number of photographs of the Centre itself, the grounds round the Centre, Carver Church, and other photographs of the area of the Lake District nearby. These may be found in the Gallery section under ‘Windermere Collection’
