PHOTO SHARING THEMES
This page gives information about photo-sharing themes for the period September 2024 - onwards. You can find information about earlier periods by clicking on any of the following links:
Thursday 26th September 2024: The photo-sharing theme for this meeting was "Dancing", this provided an opportunity to show dance photos from the recent Sidmouth Folk Festival, for those who joined our photo-amble there.
Thursday 24th October 2024: At this meeting, we will share photos on the theme of "Over the summer". This is a chance to show us what you have enjoyed taking photos of over the past few months.
Thursday 28th November 2024: This month's photo-sharing theme is "Creepy Crawlies, Flittery Flutteries, and Teeny Weenies". It's all about taking photos of insects and other tiny creatures. If you have a macro lens, so much the better, but recent smart phones are very capable of taking good pictures of very small things, so it's always worth giving it a go!
Thursday 23rd January 2025: For this meeting, you are invited to show us "My favourite images of 2024". Of course, we would like to see images that you took yourself, but if you wish you are welcome to bring along one or two that you found particularly impressive on the web.
Thursday 27th February 2025: Because this meeting had to be cancelled at short notice, we were unable to share photos on our planned theme "How can I improve this image?".
Thursday 27th March 2025: The photo-sharing theme for this meeting was "Over the winter". As the title implies, members were invited to share images illustrating any activities they had been engaged in or anything interesting they had seen over the winter months. Wintry feelings in the images were welcome, but not essential.
Thursday 24th April 2025: At this meeting, members are invited to share images on the theme of "Unexpected beauty". Not as easy as it sounds, because it needs a bit of "thinking outside the box"! Maybe examples could be an unusual play of light in otherwise familiar surroundings, a rainbow after miserable weather, or a wonderful street-singer that you came across unexpectedly? Both still photos and videos are welcome.
Thursday 22nd May 2025: There are two photo-sharing themes for this meeting. The main theme is "It's bloody difficult". The idea here is to share photos expressing your feelings about things you have found particularly difficult to do or cope with, or things that other people have found challenging. As an alternative theme, you are welcome to show us images found on the internet or TV or elsewhere that you have found particularly interesting or inspiring.
Thursday 26th June 2025: You are invite to share your photos on the theme of "Mostly Devon gardens". This is not meant to be about your own garden, but about gardens from RHS, National Trust, National Gardens Scheme, Hospiscare, and other major gardens open to the public. You are encouraged to show photos that illustrate either the beauty of the garden or particular aspects of the flora and fauna that you saw there. The emphasis should mainly be on gardens in Devon.
