It may be cold but the largely dry weather has given our talented photographers the opportunity to get out and about and capture some more fantastic pictures of nature during winter.

‘Nature in the New Year’ is our current theme and from lovely winter sunlight to fog descending over lakes and beautiful images of birds and wildlife, enjoy the selection of images by scrolling through this page.

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.
