THE Gazette & Herald has invited our local camera clubs to showcase some of their members' work in our pages, and here we highlight some recent entries in Kirkbymoorside and District Camera Club's Applied Competition.

It covered architecture, record and natural history and here we have highlighted just a few of the entries, with details of the techniques and equipment used.

The club welcomes everyone with an interest in photography regardless of their level of experience (or equipment used). It meets at 7.30pm on the first and third Thursdays at the British Legion Club, Kirkbymoorside, and has presentations by visiting speakers and regular competitions.

There is also a number of project groups covering beginners and advanced digital photography, monochrome photography, creative photography and a thriving intermediate photography group.

Anyone interested is welcome to go along to one of their meetings where you will find a group of friendly people, of all abilities, with a common interest.

Full details can be found at www.kirkbymoorsidecamera-club.co.uk or by requesting an information pack from Barrie Tuck on 01751 430717 or email bstuck@btinternet.com

Mormon Barn At Dawn by Kevin Bedford in the Grand Tetons National Park, Wyoming, USA, using Nikon D200. Three exposures were taken - 1/15sec 1/8sec and 1/4 sec - and combined using Photoshop to get the shadow, midtones and highlights from each shot. Burne-Jones Window, taken by Harry Kingman in the chapel at Castle Howard with a Canon EOS 20D, using 17-85 Zoom set to 38 mm. A grey graduated filter was used to prevent the writing at the bottom being burned out. The image was 'squared up' digitally as Customs lookout. Janet Burdon took this as part of a project 'Whitby Icons'. Janet said: "There are two lookouts on Battery Parade in Whitby, just at the start of the pier.The circular shapes appealed to me, and of course the Whitby seagull stood on top o Charlecote, taken by David Richardson. Charlecote is in Warwickshire and is a superb Tudor mansion, where Shakespeare is said to have poached deer in the park. Taken on Fuji Finepix S5000 digital compact camera. Minimal digital editing, image cropped.
