"Camshootu3asa" is the blog of Campbelltown SA University of the Third Age (U3A) Photoshoot Group.
Each month, during term time, we meet at an agreed location to spend an hour or so taking photographs followed by morning coffee at a nearby coffee shop. Members of the group are encouraged, but not obliged, to post a selection of their "shots" on the blog each month.

Essence of Japan - Vale

All these photos have been given an extra touch of manipulation to create the impression of a secret garden.

Fun experimenting (John)

 A few minutes checking out different exposure times with the deer-scarer, trying to catch the drops.
Interesting, if you have that sort of mind, but hardly creative.

 1/180 and f/4.5


 1/500 and f/3.5


 1/1000 and f/3.5

1/180 and f/3.5 with flash
All have had a little editorial help - straightening, cropping and tuning.
Which would I use again? I'd probably go for the 1/500 as a compromise but ...

I took many other shots but have to share this one taken under one of the stone bridges using flash - again just experimenting. (1/60 and f/7.1 with flash)
