Beautiful photos were the main focus during the recent Longtom Photography Club meeting. This event is a monthly meeting that takes place at the Hervormde Kerk on a Monday at 18:00.

The members are photographers who share ideas and techniques, and fellowship while they develop their photography skills. It is a practical event for those who want to get to know their cameras and have questions about them.

Every month they have a new topic to focus on and choose the best photos. The winners are announced during the meeting.

In the set-subject section and the monochrome (black and white) section, Des Jacobs was the winner. In the open section, Lani Visser was again the winner with her beautiful photo of a slanghalsvoël (African darter).

Lize Maritz, the secretary of the club, said the next meeting, scheduled for April 14, has unfortunately been cancelled on account of the recent Covid-19 outbreak.
