Life is still a long way from returning to normal but the second lockdown is over and we all hope another one will not be needed as we look forward to trying to make the most of what will be a different Christmas this year.

‘Lockdown life’ has been the theme for our Camera Club members and you can see a final selection of their images by scrolling down this page, but the time has again come to set a new challenge for our talented photographers.

With the festive season fast approaching, we want to see the picture that best sums up Christmas in Watford in 2020 through the lenses of our snappers.

The Watford Observer Camera Club is a Facebook-based group. It is open to all photographers – from those who snap pictures on their phones, to professionals who capture perfect shots with specialist equipment.

Every month, the camera club is set a new challenge, a theme is selected and then the work starts.

Search for Watford Observer Camera Club on Facebook. Ask to join the group and we’ll accept you.

In addition to Frances Woolnough's picture at the top of the page of social distancing on a park bench, this week’s images are from:
