It may have been bitterly cold this week but the first snowfall of winter will have helped many of us feel more in the Christmas spirit as the big day approaches.
'The essence of Christmas' is the new theme for our camera club members and as you can see from scrolling down this page, they have captured it in a variety of ways
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.
