We all need inspiration sometimes.  In the panel below there is a list of events organised by the southern region of The Royal Photographic Society.  If anybody would like to attend any of the events below,  contact Mike Rooke, SSDCC Chairman, and we can see if we can organise a car share to keep travel costs to the minimum.

The Club had its first meet of the new season on Tuesday 18th September, and as has become 'tradition' members were asked to take up a Holiday Break challenge  This year topics (capital letters of the alphabet) were drawn from the hat and efforts judged by a quick and simple knockout.

Colin Maskell won a bottle of plonk for his well seen and captured (almost abstract) architectural shot of "Balconies" below

it's all about the pictures!

Make sure you visit us at least once a week to look our latest images and pick up news of anything happening on the Island that might be of interest to photographers, including those of you just visiting the Isle of Wight.

We often get asked by photographers visiting from elsewhere to advise them on the best locations here for various types of photography.  We are always pleased to help if we can.  Go to the Contact Us page and send us a message.  We would like to hear from you.

Below: The Isle of Wight offers more than just seascapes and yachts.  Look hard enough and many unique and/or quirky scenes can catch your eye​
