Linda Besin was named winner of the overall competition for her photo created using oil and water, with judges awarding her 20 marks out of 20 for her precise focus work giving clear definition to the circles of oil.

A second competition for monochrome photos was held, and Jitka Brynjolffssen was announced as the winner for her photo of a spiral staircase.

With COVID cases spreading, the society is currently meeting via Zoom each week. Face-to-face meetings are still taking place in the landscape group, who meet in small numbers and have trips planned to autumnal beauty spots.

Soon society members will also be out and about in Royston to collect the first round of pictures to form an archive for Royston Museum.
