MEMBERS of St Helens Star Camera Club were up close with nature around the area for this week's themed challenge.

We ask members to submit their favourite photos each week as well as images based on a theme and the latest was close up and macro photography. 

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 like buildings or water. 

You can join 959 others in our camera club on Facebook at facebook.com/groups/sthelensstarcameraclub
