Calling all our photographers - We offer you a monthly challenge!
Have you taken a photograph this month which you are proud of, or really like? Would you like to share it with fellow members of our Honiton u3a?
We would like to invite you to submit ONE photograph which must have been taken in the current month or in that same month of a previous year. You can choose your own subject, e.g., artistic, historical, humorous, local interest, a portrait, or a pet. The possibilities are endless. Photographs can be in colour or black & white.
Having chosen your photograph, please give it a title and submit it via email to : u3aphotoshowcase@btinternet.com by no later than 2nd day of the following month i.e., September photographs to be received no later than 2nd October. Your photographs will then be showcased on the overhead screen at our Wednesday meeting at The Beehive and will also be featured on the Honiton u3a website and Facebook pages.
