WHAT a year it has been for The Argus Camera Club.

More than a thousand of our loyal readers are now sending in their best shots of Sussex via the Argus Camera Club Facebook group.

As a big “thank you” to all those who make the Camera Club what it is, we have decided to look back at the best pictures of this year.

Today we have chosen our favourite photos from January and February.

From Dominic Ellett’s panoramic shot of a stunning sunset from Brighton Palace Pier to Jill Humphreys’s photo of a cheeky squirrel, we have seen plenty of gems.

To join in on the fun, visit The Argus Camera Club group at facebook.com/groups/cameraclubargus.
