PORTRAITS OF A CAMERA CLUB

Today we went on an outing with the Redlands U3A Camera Club. I took my macro lens because I need lots of practice with it. I took portraits of some of the members.


Bill J is the Camera Club organiser.




The two Bills. Irish Bill and Swiss Bill.

    Agree with Joan, Diane. Really good set of portraits. And this reminds me that I need to contact my local U3A ... I joined but now have to attend something ...

    Your comments are coming over the post. Are they supposed to do that? Maybe it's my weird computer. Neat photos. I like the guy with the hat.

    These are lovely captures Diane - you don't need more practise I think!

    Lucky duck with a macro lense AND a camera club!

    Diane, Your portaits are wonderful! Don't you just love people's faces? I mean real faces. The way we were made to be. Can't stand the botox fake insanity that seems to be so prevalent right now.

    What a wonderful group. You made some very good shots. My "garden assistant" has not been much help. He just wants to look good while he pretends to work! Nancy H

    Julie, If your local U3A hasn't got a Camera Club, start one. it's fun and you are certainly a talented photographer to run such a club.

    Cheers,

    Bill

    I'd give anything to have a camera club nearby. Ha, we don't even have a camera shop.
    These are wonderful candid shots Diane!

    Did you use the macro lens, so that the wrinkles came out better, lol ?
