PAINT THE TOWN RED, BLUE, YELLOW.... Our creative eye was put to the test with our first outing of the year. Yes, it was hot, VERY HOT, but our photographers have come up with some great shots. From ICM, to macro and shots through glass there are some fabulous images. A well earnt cold drink and meal at Sorbellos topped off the night. It's always a good way to start the year. Thank you to everyone to came along.

Challenge 2024 – The Concept of Time
Big thanks to Michele and Noel Jackson for sponsoring a challenge for 2024 – The Concept of Time.
Members are encouraged to capture an image that represents the concept of time.
This could be interpreted in various ways, such as showing the passage of time through changes in nature or urban environments, capturing moments that depict different times of the day (dawn, dusk, midday, midnight), or illustrating the contrast between the old and the new.
The emphasis is on creativity – you are encouraged to think outside the box, eg a photo of a clock might be too literal, instead, think about capturing scenes like a tree with half its leaves in autumn colors, or a street from a perspective that shows both historical and modern architecture.
Photographers should also include a storytelling component where they submit a short narrative with their photo, explaining their interpretation of time in the work.
One entry per member.
Digital Image and Written Component to be sent in one email to:jacksonstockphotography@gmail.com
Deadline: 20th November 2024
