TODAY is World Photography Day - a whole day dedicated to the art form that is photography.

To mark the international celebrations, we asked members of our St Helens Star Camera Club to share their favourite photo of the summer.

The Camera Club is a supportive and friendly group of amateur and professional photographers and as well as submitting photos taken recently, members also take part in regular themed challenges.

Their favourite shots of summer included rainbows, fields of gold and close ups of nature.

You can join 640 others in our camera club on Facebook at facebook.com/groups/941507462698379.
