Budding photographers are to be given the chance to showcase their work in print and online with the new Watford Observer camera club.

The club, open to amateur snappers, will highlight stunning photographs taken in and around Watford.

From landscapes to landmarks and people to pooches, we want to see the best images amateurs have captured from around the town which show off just how special a place it is to live.

The club will be coordinated via our new Facebook group - The Watford Observer Camera Club.

Anyone interested in joining can request to become a member online and can then share tips and tricks with other members, organise outings and exhibitions.

Members will be invited to exclusive events several times throughout the year, and will get the chance to learn more about photography from some of Scotland’s best-known professional photographers.

Images posted on the page will also get the chance to be featured in galleries on our website, visited by thousands of people every month.

Existing camera clubs across Watford are invited to join the group, as well as those who have an interest in photography as a hobby.

Visit Facebook.com and search for “The Watford Observer Camera Club” to join.
