What do you enjoy about being part of our Camera Club on Facebook?

I enjoy looking at everybody’s photos in the camera club and am stunned at how amazing they are. I love the ones of birds and the details that are shown,

If you could photograph anyone/any place/anything, who/what would it be?

If I could photograph anything it would be the Northern Lights. I completely missed them when they were visible in our part of the world earlier this year.
