Every year that Labour of Love we call the ADAPS Year Book occupies a couple of days of intense work, and it's always good to have it done, dusted and published. This time sround it was quite a task as everyone is locked down to some extent or another and not everyone keeps in touch via the internet. However, it's done now and 27 photographers sent in their pictures. I also added some group shots, showing various group visits over recent years. It's amazing how the society has changed, but also how a core membership is there right the way through. It's a renewing core membership of course, as one generation eventually gives way to the next.
The function of the book is twofold. If anyone wishes to, it can be bought via Blurb, but there's no profit involved so that isn't a motive for publication. Blurb books are not cheap, but they are good, and it means that an excellent record is made of who ADAPS members were year after year and what sorts of photography we enjoyed. All images are chosen on merit, but all contributers will be represnted whether they be new memberswho have just come through the door, or long term members who are almost welded to their chairs in the clubrooms.
PS Here's the breakdown of camera manufacturers used in the images, counting each image in the total:
Canon 28%
Nikon 27%
Mobile phones 15%
Pentax 14%
Fujifilm 10%
Sony 3%
Panasonic 2%
