Timed to follow the (disappointing!) Euro 2024 match between England and Denmark, ten members of Cramlington Camera Club met at Church Point, Newbiggin on the evening of 20th June. It had been hoped to spot and photograph some dolphins but, unfortunately, they didn't accommodate us on this occasion. We managed to take some shots from a cool and breezy Church Point and then, having scrambled over the rocks, walked along the seaside path and in front of the RNLI station. We found some decent photography subjects, including Sean Henry's Couple sculpture, a lone fisherman, dogs being walked and views across the bay. The varying light, due to the sun peeping in and out behind the clouds, aided some interesting shots. After a very few drops of rain, we were treated to a rainbow across the bay. As always, it was good to catch up with our fellow members and after we had finished taking photographs some of us then headed to our usual pub in Cramlington. Our next summer outing will be on Thursday 11th July at Cambois Harbour, following which we will be setting up our own BBQ.

On a chilly and windy evening on Thursday 6th June, a group of hardy members (other than one who turned up in his customary T-shirt!) met at Low Lights Car Park to spend time photographing the scenes at and near the Tynemouth Fish Market. There were a variety of subjects to photograph including fishing boats and gear and Herd Groyne and the The Collingwood Monument in the distance. However, the highlight proved to be an RNLI boat and dinghy which sailed in while we were there. The crew soon spotted us, smiled and gave us something of a demonstration close to the shore. This provided us with plenty of photo opportunities and some laughs. As our AGM took place 7 weeks ago, it was good for our members in attendance to catch up with each other. At the end of a pleasant evening, some went home and some went to the pub. Our next summer meeting will be at Newbiggin Church Point on the evening of Thursday 20th June when we hope to spot and photograph dolphins. All are welcome to join us.
