Preparations for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee are increasingly ramping up with less than a week to go before the national celebrations and even some of our pets are starting to get excited.

'Royalty' is the new theme for our camera club members and it has already provided plenty of material for our talented photographers to capture, as you can see by scrolling down this page.,

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

Every four weeks, members of the camera club are set a new challenge, a theme is selected and then the work starts for our talented photographers.

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