The Leading Line February Edition

February 2024 The Leading Line Newsletter

Welcome to this edition brought to you from Model Town, Delhi, India 🇮🇳.

I’ll be sure to inundate you with some of my images of this amazing trip in the next edition and in competitions as well.

I’ve also added a photography crossword for your enjoyment along with items from our regular contributors. I highly recommend the article titled: Do you have GAS?

I would also like to draw your attention to a lovely reflection on life from our very own Phil Whiteman titled, The Accidental Photographer.

Enjoy 🙂

The Leading Line August/September bumper edition

Hi Everyone, the past couple of months haver been so hectic I didn’t manage to get out the August edition, so I’ve combined it with Septembers issue, making it bigger than ever!

An added complication has been the lack of internet access here at the Shearers Quarters in the very chilly Mungo National Park. There is good news for those that are still to venture to this stunning location there is excellent wifi but only whilst standing in or very closely around the Visitors Centre (which handily is right next to our accommodation).

This region is spectacular – if you haven’t been I can highly recommend it.
