Thirteen youngsters aged between 11 and 17 gathered at the Guildhall, in Bury St Edmunds, during half term to participate in a Photographic Workshop aimed at inspiring them to take their photography to the next level.
It was led by local photographer Carol Street and assisted by members of the Bury Photographic Society, the Bury Abbey Rotary Club, Bury Sketchers and Guildhall Garden Volunteers.
The young people worked hard to capture imaginative images from around the Guildhall Garden.
The theme was “Happiness in Nature”, and the students found many examples around the garden of people and other creatures enjoying their surroundings.
Two members of the Bury Sketchers were capturing the beauty of the garden in their own style, and the Guildhall Garden volunteers were working in the sunshine.
The workshop was organised by Bury Abbey Rotary Club and supported by Bury Town Council.
The event is the launch pad for the national Rotary Young Photographer competition, open to any young person aged between 11 and 17.
All workshop attendees have been encouraged to enter their photos for the competition with the “Happiness in Nature Theme”.
Bury Abbey Rotary Club would be pleased to hear from any young person in the age category who would like to enter the competition.
All that is necessary is to submit an original image which fits the theme either on our website or by email to buryabbeyrotary@gmail.com
The closing date is December 12.
