Sasol Highveld Photography Club August results are spectacular

The Sasol Highveld Photography Club held their monthly meeting at the start of August and once again there were some very good results.

The technical abilities of the photographers are of a very high standard. Photographers also let their imaginations run wild when choosing subjects to photograph or “Shoot.”

It is good to mingle with other photographers as it offers a unique opportunity to learn from your peers.

Hanno De Beer was the judge for the evening.

The photographers from Sasol Highveld Photography Club hold meetings on the first Friday of every month. These meetings give photographers a chance to mingle and interact with other photographers. Meetings are usually held at the Scrum Inn, Sasol Club.

They also listen to informative lectures and talk about various photography subjects.
