AS THE new year got underway members of the Andover Advertiser Camera Club have been busy snapping away.

Birds, bees and beautiful landscapes all feature in the latest snaps, with this time around the theme was ‘hope’.

Here are a selection.

Anyone can join our dedicated Facebook group where members can share their best snaps and tips, get feedback and ask for advice.

Our competition will have a different theme each month, and we would love you to suggest some ideas for what you would like to see as well.

There will be a £25 prize for the themed contest winner, and the chance to get tips and advice from professional photographers.

Send us scenic pictures, weather shots or wildlife images – even snaps of your pets – all we ask is they are specific to our circulation area.

We run regular spreads of members’ work in the paper and online, with full credits in the captions accompanying all of the images used.

All we ask is that you provide a brief description of what the picture depicts, plus where and when the image was taken.

The next theme will be announced on the group on February 1.

To join the club and find out the next theme is, search for ‘Andover Advertiser Camera Club’ on Facebook.
