Our last meeting of the season was a photo scavenger hunt. Members were given the task of capturing exactly 6 photos in and around the Fisherrow Centre inspired by 6 challenges:

• The Fisherrow Centre used to be a school, so take a shot that reminds you of school.
• The walls have just been painted blue, so take a shot of something blue (but not the walls).
• Let’s see a shot that contains converging lines.
• This is the end of another photography session, so show something coming to an end.
• Pick a familar object but show it from a angle that makes it look unusual or unfamilar.
• Surprise us with a creative shot.

We spent an hour exploring the area and then returned to show the images we had captured. Some members had stayed in room G3, while others had explored the Fisherrow Centre and its grounds, but some intrepid members had ventured as far as the river Esk and Fisherrow beach. The most popular image was the “Girls Entrance” sign, which came up again and again. There were also creative shots of signs, door locks, stairs, flowers, pigeons and gable ends viewed from different angles. It was a fun evening to end our 2025/26 season.
