OUR Camera Club members have been out in force, with south Essex’s leading snappers capturing stunning photographs.

Some have taken the opportunity to focus their lens on the unpredictable weather, with the scorching temperatures quickly turning into thunderstorms over the course of the past few days.

Others have headed to the coastline and looked at the natural beauty within our parks and countryside.

You can join our Camera Club Facebook group now.
