The first of Hitchin Camera Club’s summer meetings was a “Scavenger Hunt” around the streets of Hitchin. About 20 of us took part and we had two hours to find and photograph 25 items on a list, before retiring to the Cooper’s Arms in Tilehouse Street for a pint (or two!).
The intention was to shoot the images with a view to cropping them into a square format so they could be displayed as a 5 x 5 grid. I used my Panasonic DMC-TZ70 rather than my DSLR because I could set that to shoot in square format. This was a big help in framing the shot when I took it and also saved a lot of time cropping later!
I found a bit of creativity was needed to get some of the subjects. Here are my efforts:
A Blue plaque
The word “Brick”
Two photographers
A stranger’s hand
Your reflection
A yellow flower
Old Writing
A repeating pattern
“Going Green”
Symmetry
An animal with 6 or more legs
A bird in flight
Something empty
Radial Lines
Something beginning with Q
A yellow front door
Graffiti
Something Spanish
The Hitchin logo
A small window
An interesting street light
A coloured tile
The Time
Ironworks
A historic date
