7 of the best vacation photos from Press Camera Club

We challenged Press Camera Club members to post their favorite vacation photo to our Facebook group. The best photo won a £50 prize.

You can see our final selection here.

As you’ll notice, many haven’t ventured too far from home to get inspiration from vacation photos.

And they were outside no matter what the weather was like, which was actually a good thing considering the lousy summer weather we had.

Here’s a roundup of our favorites:

* Michelle Sorrell vacations in York and takes this timeless shot that encapsulates English summer fun

* Christine Hainsworth manages to contain all the excitement of a steam train journey with this shot at Goathland Station (and tempts me to use this photo for a caption competition!)

* Garry Hornby made us laugh with his photo of sunglasses on the sunflower on a rare sunny morning

*And this lovely shot of two sculptures on the 192 mile coast-to-coast walk from St Bees to Robin Hood’s Bay was posted by group member Carys Tew, who completed the route in 17 days (well done Carys!)

* Head to Scarborough to get a beautiful shot of the waves at sunrise while in the distance a yacht sails in the South Bay at Kyle Brook

* Emma Richardson took us to the Blackpool Air Show and took this amazing photo of the Red Arrows opening the event in style.

Well done to you all.

But this month’s winner is Annie Greenhouse for this magnetic shot of the Yorkshire coast under a bright blue and cloudy sky. It shows Yorkshire at its best – and is the perfect place for a holiday.
