The nights are drawing in and it will soon be time for scary sightings and ghosts and ghouls as Halloween approaches at the end of the month.
To build-up to this day the new monthly theme for our Camera Club members is 'haunted Watford' and our talented photographers have already been out to capture some spooky sights, or those places around the area that have a dark episode in the past. They may have also used a camera trick or two as you can see if you scroll through this week's selection below.
The 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 month, the camera club is set a new challenge, a theme is selected and then the work starts.
Search for Watford Observer Camera Club on Facebook. Ask to join the group and we’ll accept you.
