Happy Saturday to all our readers.

Here is a selection of our favourite photos posted by local photographers in the camera club.

This month's theme is a 'new start' but this week we have broken the rules and have picked the ones we love - even if they don't fit the subject!

All of these fabulous photos of Herts were taken by members of the Watford Observer Camera

Club, a Facebook-based group.

The group is open to all photographers – from those who snap pictures on their phones, to professionals who capture the perfect scenes.

There are now 480 members and it’s growing week by week.

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

A £50 voucher is handed to the winner - along with the kudos of winning and seeing their

name in lights.

All of these images were taken by the talented camera club members.

To find out more, search Watford Observer Camera Club on Facebook. Ask to join, and we’ll accept you.
