All images had to be in Jpeg, No Post Processing, just one image per category, we had to return to our groups meeting place, the Great Wakering Royal British Legion Club by 3.00 pm.
The images were downloaded to our club laptop and were stored for judging by three independent judges, the results will be declared at our Photography Group meeting Monday 11th April 2022.
Around 1958 this Vista 3D screen was a Weetabix promotion, you had to cut the voucher from the cereal box and send it off in the post.
The cards were then added to the subsequent cereal boxes, these cards and viewers can still be found on on the usual internet sites.
Needless to say this is a cherished family artefact, my Grandchildren still love to look at the images today.
I am delighted to say this was voted in 1st place in this category.
I would like to express my thanks to my Daughter Helen our Photography Group Secretary and Organiser for all her hard work time and effort in running a fabulous set of challenges.
My good friend Bill from college gave me this plant as a host gift when he came back to visit. Sadly, Bill died of ALS many years ago but I still have this plant. It's leaves may get brown and spotted but I think of him whenever I water and care for it.
I remembered to put BK's hospital flowers to good use before they completely withered up, go me. Also, our last house guest leaves this morning -- for those of you keeping track that was over three straight weeks of houseguests. Phew!
Had to do quite a bit of salvage work on this as the entire foreground was taken up by a lovely blue streak as a cast member strolled by with his blue flash light waving just as I was going for the shot. This shot was taken right at the begining of the Star Tours section, right after the loading sequence sound track as the first strains of the Star Wars theme are heard.
It's interesting to note that it wasn't just the cast member in the shot. The entire foreground was flooded with people coming and going as Disney opens up the front of the viewing area as a walkway on crowded nights DURING the fireworks. Kind of bummer, but necessary as 50,000 some odd people try to navigate their way from Tomorrowland over to Frontierland. Usually, all of the people disappear with the long shutter speeds, but those darn flash lights are there for eternity. Or until photoshopped out. Shot with the Sigma 10-20
To all those poor souls from every nation who suffered and died in the trenches of the first world war. So that we shall always remember.
From November 11 (UK rememberance day, Armistice de la Première Guerre mondiale in France) to November 19 (German Volkstrauertag), this week is dedicated to remembering the dead of the First World War. I’ll try doing a photographic equivalent showing places of commemoration to the dead of the great war from 1914 to 1918 from the Württemberg region I live. Though monuments here are naturally dedicated to German soldiers, we should commemorate the dead of every nation that fought the great war.
With Spring in full swing and Summer approaching, I wanted to remember that every season has beauty.
Remembering September 11, 2001, a day that changed America.
Prompt: this was created in Midjourney using three different images and Midjourney's "/blend" mode. The blend mode is the actual prompt. The lettering and additional post processing was done in Photoshop.

With Remembrance Day around the corner, I will remember! In this case, it's my maternal grandfather, Christiaan Lodewijk Hubertus Vincken - though I knew him better as Opa Lou! I'm not sure when this portrait was taken - perhaps late 1920s or early 1930s. The only thing I know about his military career is that he served as a Dutch marine naval officer and at the outbreak of WW II, became a prisoner of war in a German concentration camp. As an officer, he was treated a little better then enlisted men but it was still a tough go. I remember him as a very formal man and not one to play with his grandchildren on the living room floor. However, he made me a garage for my toy cars from scratch. He also had a temper - driving in his little car usually involved some profanity and grumbling at other drivers that didn't meet his standards. He can be forgiven for that as my wife complains that I do that now too. He died in the 1960's from complications of hip surgery. We were in Africa at the time and it was my mother who flew back for the funeral.
I have no idea who took the photo but it was clearly a formal portrait. Perhaps his official navy portrait. Now it's quite yellowed and after scanning, I converted it back to black and white. The hat was in the family for years after his death. I remember trying it on but not where it ended up.
