An Autumnal welcome to members and friends of
H2 Photographic Society



Please note H2 now operates on a hybrid model with meetings alternating between Zoom & in the hall.  Please check the calendar below for where the meeting is and the zoom invite/location details.
Lloyds Building by Chris Shepherd
This Week...

It is a zoom meeting (all welcome - invite below) with our annual Portrait competition.  Our judge is Eileen McCausland, a new judge for H2,  so it should make for an interesting chance to get some feedback on our images.

Last Week...

There was no meeting in the hall and instead, we met in the wilds of Epping Forest.  The weather was dry and sunny, which was good for the photographers but not so good for fungi.

But once everyone got their eye in they were soon scrabbling around on the floor and performing the role of mushroom-paparazi!  A very enjoyable practical day for everyone.

As Paul is away,  I don't have the full results of our performance at Loughton and Upminster.  But I did find this write-up on Facebook:



Looks like we produced 2 winning images,  Well done H2!
