5 May - The challenge this evening was street photography and members were asked to bring along and present their images. While it is not usually a genre of photography widely practiced by many Cranligh Camera Club members we did see a wide variety of images containing subjects ranging from window reflections, street furniture, public demonstrations, portraits, architecture, graffiti and travel etc.
