The new year is well underway so it is again time to set a new challenge for members of the Watford Observer Camera Club.
You can see the final selection of our talented photographers' 'new year, new start' across these pages - the next theme is 'wildlife in winter'.
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 usually, 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.
