Camera Club Photos











I returned to my camera club this month, Queensland Camera Group, after a break and was pleased to receive Merits for all three of my entries in the "Open" subject.

"Marry Me" was taken in Trafalgar Square in London. Terry and I were looking out over the Square and I observed this young couple sitting by the fountain. He pulled out a ring box and handed it to her. She was obviously thrilled and excitedly put the ring on her finger, admiring it and kissing and hugging her new fiance. As I realised what was happening, I took several photos but not all came out well. This was the best. The photo was cropped to show only them. It was delightful to be a witness to this special moment.

"Tangled Web" was taken in Bucharest, Romania and shows that city does not have underground power. There are "webs" like this all over the city and must be a challenge to maintain.

"Gone Fishing" was taken from our boat, "River Duchess" as we cruised down the Rhine River. I spotted this guy on the bank and fortunately with my 20x zoom camera, I was able to capture him.
