OUR camera club members have been lining up the perfect shorts come rain or shine.

Heatwave conditions and a bit of torrential rain have been keeping photographers across the district on their toes.

But the changeable conditions haven’t stopped our hardy members getting out and producing some cracking shots.

From harvest machinery and glorious sunsets to nature in action both at home and at the zoo, these shots have been shared by our club members.

This week we have pictures of boats at Gosfield Lake, bees and flowers, flamingos, skyline shots and Essex’s beautiful countryside.

Our club wants to give all photographers the chance to have their images published and seen by thousands online and in print.

To find out more about our club, which now has 425 members, search for Mid Essex Camera Club on Facebook.
