THESE fantastic pictures were taken by members of the Gazette’s new online camera club.
We hope you'll share your best shots with us, from wildlife to breathtaking Essex scenery, to portraits, Colchester landmarks and pictures from events.
To join, search for Gazette Camera Club on Facebook and send us a request.
The group is closed, so your pictures can only be viewed by other members and us at the Gazette.
It's a place for you to show off your work and make new connections with other keen photographers in and around Colchester.
We aim to publish a spread of the best pictures in the Daily Gazette each week, and will be posting regular online galleries for you to share.
Look out in the next few weeks for themed competitions with prizes on offer.
Special thanks go to our first ever Camera Club members who have contributed these pictures.
