Have look at the videos on their YouTube site https://www.youtube.com/@fourfeetfromtelford 

On Friday 8 March , club member Janina Wilde https://janinawilde.com presents “Boost your Creativity through Multiple Exposure” Janina says, “In my talk I’ll explore multiple images showcasing landscapes, macro subjects, coastal environments and birds.
