Inspired by our own Mr Brown, the theme of our first meeting in May was using a wine glass creatively in a picture. Our members rose to the challenge with some very creative interpretations. Here, for your edification, are some of them:

There has been a Photochrome Flickr group for a few years but it has been neglected and I don’t think many current users know about it. I’d encourage any current Photochrome members to join the group especially if you’re already Flickr members.
If you’ve been living under a rock for the last few years, Flickr is the leading photo sharing site and it’s part of the Yahoo empire (if you already have a Yahoo account you don’t even have to create a separate Flickr account). It’s free tojoin and share up to 200 pictures. If you want more than that then there is a modest annual fee. Flickr is like the world’s biggest camera club: you can make friends there or connect with people you already know. There are also ‘groups‘ on every subject possible that you can join and add your pictures too to share with other group members. A group also has a discussion forum associated with it. As the Photochrome website doesn’t have a dedicated forum associated with it I suggest we use the Flickr Photochrome Group discussion forum so that we can talk amongst ourselves.
If you add your pictures you the group you will notice that they will be displayed in a Flickr widget in the sidebar of this site (look to the right). I hope members will take advantage of the Photochrome Flickr Group specifically and Flickr in general to find a supportive photo community between meetings. If you have any questions of concerns please raise them in the comments of this post and I’ll do my best to address them. See you on Flickr.
