Hungerford Camera Club held their 29th annual photography exhibition last weekend and it was met with great praise from the members of the public who attended. The club had 262 images on display covering many subjects including landscapes, wildlife, portraits, abstracts, transport and many more. Prizes were given out to the photographers for best image at the exhibition, the best black and white image, the best portrait image, the best image of Hungerford and the best panel of images. The public also voted for the image that they felt was the best.
