For the June Club Night, an evening photo-shoot was arranged in the grounds of Blenheim Palace. A group of 18 members met at a rather obscure gate in Woodstock, which gave access to a little known ‘public right of way’ across the Blenheim estate. Chairman Richard Broadbent then led the group on a circular tour around part of the gardens, along the lake and through the wooded areas, giving members the opportunity to photograph the wildlife on the waters, some fleeting appearances of Muntjac deer, and distant views of the Palace itself. Finally, towards the end of the evening, the setting sun highlighted the tree foliage, casting the long shadows that emphasize the appeal of outdoor photography. A somewhat weary group eventually made their way to the local hostelry to exchange experiences, partake of some libation and enjoy a well-earned rest.
The next Society Club Night will be a presentation on 1 July by John Cavana entitled ‘My travels in Africa through the camera: Kili, Kruger and the Cape.’ The Society will also be meeting on 5 August and 2 September, although the speakers for these two meetings have yet to be confirmed. Please check our website for the forthcoming details. All three events will begin at 7.30pm in the Cartwright Hotel, Aynho, and everyone is most welcome to attend. Please note that no Workshops are planned for July or August.
