The lengths some people will go to....

Some people will do anything for a great shot. Case in point:-

Read the photographers description below the shot, then look at the second picture in the sequence:-

I wonder if Ansel Adams ever went this far?

Change of Programme - August 31st

Alan Ross is not available so Steve Lewis will entertain us with
Private Views of Snowdonia - prints connected with his new
book. I believe that Steve's previous visits have been much enjoyed.

Airport Panel and Graham Shaw

Just a line to say that I think that sufficient people entered the panel competition to make it a worthwhile first part to the evening. The standard of the entry was very good and the winners well deserved and the marks for the first three were extremely close.
I think Graham is to be congratulated on his succinct and positive comments on the panels.

The second half of the evening belonged to Graham alone with a show of very high quality images of the Gower region. As someone who has never been there I was amazed at the beauty of the area and how peaceful it was in April. It now has made Joyce and myself want to add it to the list of places we still have to visit. Thanks again Graham
