The weather has been anything but beautiful for much of this week but that hasn't stopped our latest photographic challenge from getting off to a stunning start.

'The beauty of autumn' is the new theme for members of the Watford Observer Camera Club and between the downpours and floods, our snappers have managed to capture some wonderful photos, as well as sharing images they've captured in previous years.

You can enjoy the first selection of their pictures by scrolling down this page.

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 four weeks usually, members of the camera club are set a new challenge, a theme is selected and then the work starts for our talented photographers.

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