Here's the last photowalk video from the season, down to the beach near Polhawn Fort at the end of Whitsand Bay.
Looe Photwalk
A short video of our photo-walk around Looe, the weather was rather uninspiring but there was plenty of creativity shown by members of the club!
Photowalk Videos
Some videos featuring created during some of the photowalks in 2017, enjoy!
Minions Photowalk Video
Our first attempt at making a vlog video during the Minions Photowalk!
Minions Photowalk
The first photo-walk of the season and what a way to start... after a weekend of constant rain that finally finished about an hour before we met, the moors gave us all the moodiness it could conjure, "pea soup" is an understatement and we could barely even see more than a few metres!
Still, the eight hardy-souls who ventured out onto the moors all had high-spirits and we were determined to make the most of it. After a short stop at The Hurlers we made the trek over to Goldiggens quarry where we played with some long exposure shots.
Good job there is a path to the quarry and back as we could well have been lost on the moor, but at least we came home with the same number of people as we started with... result!
End of season meal
The end-of-season meal again saw us gathering at The Cheesewring in Minions, and we received fantastic service from them as we have in years past. I think it's fair to say that no-one went home hungry!
What a great end to the season with winners collecting their trophies in a great atmosphere.

Some big "thank yous" for going above-and-beyond go to Yvonne for her sterling work sourcing the clubs many speakers, Andrea for baking cakes and keeping us all fed all through the year, to Andy and Tim for helping run the club behind the scenes and of course to Richard for completing his first year as chairman!
Jon Wyatt
The final speaker evening of the year and we've ended on a belter! Jon Wyatt is a professional photographer who's career started with skiing photography in mountains from around the world but in recent years he's moved on to more creative works, producing works in a number of different projects.
I highly recommend having a look through his portfolio of outstanding work.

Also congratulations to Tim for second place and third place goes to Peter, one of our new members!
Visit from Launceston Camera Club
Tuesday saw our yearly meet-up with the Launceston Camera Club and we had a bumper crop of prints and DPIs (Digital Projected Images) from both clubs to share... it was another fascinating evening seeing work from members of other clubs and how they compare with our own photographers.
A big thank you to everyone who bought some food along and helped keep the evening running, and a special thank you to the members of the Launceston Camera Club who made the trip down to see us.
Looking forward to our return visit next year!
