INSPIRATION struck Camera Club this week as members got inventive with our ‘create’ theme.

From multiple exposure shots of planes careening through the air and composites of pole vaulting athletes to capturing street art brightening up Oxford there was no shortage of creativity both in front of and behind the camera.

Some of our favourite photographs saw members show off the ability to transform their own images.

Gail Girvan took a floral photograph and turned it into modern art by using a computer to manipulate the snap.

And Marian Payne made her very own Oxford logo out of photographs of the city - appropriately using the wheel of a bike for one of the Os.

James Ruderford, meanwhile, took in the sights and sounds of Thame Music Festival as he snapped performers creating music.

Sharing a selection on the Oxford Mail Camera Club Facebook page earlier this week, he said: “I came away blind, deaf and broken but had a great time and created some great images capturing the day.”

Other unusual interpretations we enjoyed were Lee Yates’ black and white time lapse shot of people creating the route into the Bodleian and love locks on a bridge in Finland captured by Ian Marriott a visual representation of the creation of bonds.

At the other extreme we loved Melanie Burns image of her literally making the word create out of different art supplies.

More impressive shots included Llewellyn Robinson capturing a field being ploughed from above, with the tractor making a row of perfect straight lines down the image, and Alan Coleman's snap of fellow photographer Paddy Somerfield taking pictures at St Giles Fair

A special mention for Roy Pyniger's puntastic snap he described as 'creating a racquet' that shows a field seen through tennis racket strings.

Next week's theme is back to a Camera Club colour classic, with members encouraged to send their best 'yellow' snaps.
