It’s great when things go to plan, and that was certainly true for the Network field-trip to the London
Butterfly Garden at Hall Place, Bexley on Tuesday 18 November. Golden light from a late autumn sun
greeted a dozen members around 11.00am as they gathered in the Garden, welcomed by friendly
staff and plenty of tropical butterflies to test their macro skills over the next couple of hours. Plenty
of time, too, for members to swap ideas about camera settings, angles, lenses and backgrounds.
And, a bonus, a stream of newly emerged ones released, to warm their wings in the sun. Plus a
reasonably-priced café a couple of hundred yards away to spend half and hour in catching up with
old friends and meeting new ones. This what the NPNUK is all about – nature photographers
enjoying their photographic passion together. We’ll go back to the LBG in 2026 – do join us.
