Highlights
As this year gets fully underway and we can start to enjoy some longer days, it’s time for another update from all of us here at Arena. It’s a fair bet that it’s raining or at least, drizzling, where you are so hopefully this newsletter can cheer us all up a little…
This is the final call for the Seminar. We have a few spaces left if you are interested in coming along to the Riviera Hotel in Bournemouth for a rare few days of photographic inspiration. Along with some incredible Speakers, the Seminar is also an opportunity for you to share your work by taking part in the ‘Print Walk’. Every year we are blown away by the creativity on display by Seminar delegates… it’s always a firm weekend highlight and is not to be missed.

Commentary from Paul which accompanied the Image…
“I have recently discovered the creative possibilities of in-camera multiple exposure, especially when photographing differing types of plants and foliage.
The image was made at Kingston Lacy in Dorset.”
