VALE of Glamorgan Camera Club is a welcoming online community of photographers.

Every day our hundreds of members share their fantastic photos, which may be featured in Barry & District News and Penarth Times (with credit) - including our weekly picture spreads which showcase their wonderful work.

Photos can be of different subjects, but we ask that they are taken in the Vale of Glamorgan.

We recently launched themes for our photo spreads, which appear in print and online, and they've already proven a big hint.

Last week we launched with 'animals' - you can check out that paw-fect photo spread here.

This week we asked for photos of the Vale of Glamorgan's beautiful beaches and our members didn't let us down.

To see a selection of these splendid shots scroll through the photo gallery at the top of this page.

You can see all their photos, or join in the fun, by joining Vale of Glamorgan Camera Club on Facebook.
