PERFECT portraits - that was the challenge for members of St Helens Star Camera Club.

Partners, grandchildren and four-legged friends were in the frame for our weekly challenge.

St Helens Star 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 sunrises and sunsets, insects and wildlife, and old signs and historic buildings.
