The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warming and signs of spring are all around us - the signs of better times ahead are continuing to increase.

‘Light at the end of the tunnel’ is the current monthly theme for our camera club members and whether they have interpreted it literally or metaphorically, they have again captured some lovely pictures around the Watford area and elsewhere this week as you'll 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 use 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.
