Uty in its ural habitat
With the world all a little strange right now, members of Paisley Photographic Club have been focusing on the beautiful details of nature.
The club has a long history of producing quality natural history images and the recent Bowie competition was no different.
Members were asked to submit images in pairs, one botanical and the other zoological.
First place in the advanced section was long-time club member and dedicated nature photographer Mike Cruise, with his images Water Aven and Curious Red Squirrel.
The club’s new president, Ken Dow, placed second with his images Poppies and Chalkhill Blues Mating.
Continuing on the theme of presidents, Duncan McEwan, who has held the post for numerous times in his decades-long membership of the club, was placed third with his Scots Pine, Male Inflorescence and Camouflaged Oak Beauty Moth.
Carol Gracie also secured a deserved win with her top-placed set in the non-advanced section with her images Cottongrass and Bee Covered in Pollen.
The competition was judged by Robert Quigg of Kilmaurs Camera Club.
Paisley Photographic Club is the oldest of its kind in Scotland and was founded in 1857.
It has been running virtually every Thursday evening throughout the pandemic with tickets bought through Eventbrite for a nominal £3 fee.
