It was our regular meeting night (Wednesday) and it happened to be Midsummer Day. What better excuse, with the light lasting as late as possible, to find a beautiful park and go out photographing many interesting viewpoints? Queens Park in Bolton has plenty of scope.
Of course, you need a little picnic to start the proceedings off, and Bolton Digital members are never slow to do things involving food.

Not yet nourished enough for a walk in the park!
Once we set off, we were able to photograph a wealth of trees and flowers, sculptures and architecture. Members will bring their work to future meetings where they will appraise each others’ shots in a friendly, constructive way.
This supportive approach brings our members together and helps newer photographers to develop their skills and their eye for that special shot.

The bridge provides many photo opportunities
