So another year and another trip ends with a degree of sadness. After all that “looking forwards to it”, it is over.
A great trip as always although not a very inspiring location, most participants took to the Lake District or the North York moors for photo inspiration, so in all the location was reasonably central.
This months theme of ‘Self Portrait’ inspired only a handful of entrants. It was interesting to see though that those of you that did bother came up with some very clever ideas. Michal (Tekel) with a self portrait without any human in it at all, Lesters scary half and half, Steve (Giles) pondering his fate over a cup of coffee and Rick’s studio set up all showed some creative flair, for me though Sue’s (Jackson) portrait of her face ‘being painted’ worked really well and was my winner.
Many thanks for all those that entered.
We always like to celebrate fellow Outlaws achievements, whether they be within the club or elsewhere. Recently two of our members have had great success in their external photographic endeavours.
As part of our 25 year celebrations Nottingham Outlaws have launched our latest photographic exhibition at Nottingham Castle in the Nottingham Life section of the Castle.
Last night saw the first (but, hopefully not the last) ‘Stella’ quiz.
Stella volunteered (?) way back to do the quiz thinking it was an easy option, I’m sure she’s now regretting it!
There was a good turn out and high expectations… .
The quiz continued with some very difficult and also local based questions, all in all very well put together.
The winner on the night was Paul Summers, our local ‘historian’ who has an in-depth knowledge of all things ‘Notty’ as he would say. Well done to Paul and thanks to all those others making up the numbers on what was an interesting and enjoyable evening. Special thanks also to Stella, what about a sequel next year?
