Don't forget we have Monmouth Photographic Club Facebook group - click the link at the right of the tool bar above. It allows members to post photos for comments by others, ask and answer photo questions, and just generally keep in contact and help each other as needed. If you are interested find the group on facebook and put in a request to join.

We also have a Monmouth Photographic Club WhatsApp group where members can post photos and comment on photos, invite others to join them on photography trips, or just generally chat about all things photographical. If you would like to join the WhatsApp group email your mobile number to Keith Sharples -  sharplkei@gmail.com

Below are some more ideas to help while away the time, to improve your skills, and to keep you engaged with photography.  Many of these were put up here during the first Covid-19 Lockdown, but are still relevant.


Suggested by Brian Challis, a useful site crammed full of articles and videos of interest to photographers:
https://fstoppers.com/

This one by Oliver Herbold shows how to make some lovely macro images without the need for expensive lights (he uses a torch), and no need for focus stacking.
Creating Macro Art with a single light

Here's a YouTube video from Pat - just to give you a laugh:
The Worst Photographers You Know

A suggestion from Chris: This is a good site if you want to see Pics from all over the world and share your own. Basic membership is free.
www.viewbug.com

Another suggestion from Bill, (but if you don't live alone you will need an understanding partner!)
Surprising Macro Images Pouring Household Products Into Water

An interesting and upbeat YouTube video suggested by Pat. It's one of a series of videos by a photographer called Sean Tucker.

This one by Jared Polin gives some suggestions for things to do while we are at home. He's quite quirky, but interesting ideas:
