2026 Spring Challenge
The 2026 Spring Challenge was to film something in the dark, relying on artificial light sources and the aperture and ISO features of our cameras. The results were screened at our May Club evening on the first. We then had a vote via a show of hands as to who the members thought had done the best job. These are the films shown.
