Photographers in Lichfield have not let lockdown prevent them showcasing their creativity.

Members of Lichfield Camera Club have been taking part in a series of photography leagues. 

The contests see submitted pictures judged by the group, with promotion and relegation between the three divisions taking place every four weeks.

“This adds a little spice to the competition!

“The idea was the brainchild of Graham Slight and has proved very popular with members.”

*Some of the winning images from the first week of the competition:*

Your Lock Down vs My Reality by Debra Dingley

> “My reasons for wanting to take the picture were simply this is a piece of social history I felt important to document.  
>  
> “I have been a nurse for some 25 years and have never experienced anything like this in my work life.  
>  
> “I wanted to show the importance of the eyes – our patients at present only get to see this portion of us and to convey support, kindness and reassurance with just your eyes is a challenge.  
>  
> “Nursing at present is difficult for all involved but we are both buoyed and humbled by the public response.”

> Nurse Debra Dingley
