Oxford Mail Camera Club members have been out and about taking photos of shops for our latest theme.

With Christmas rapidly approaching it was a good time to focus on shopping.

There were lots of interesting shots posted on the club’s Facebook page, with striking images of the Covered Market and other shops from around the county, plus some Christmas markets.

While there were plenty of contenders for photo of the week, in the end we selected Lucie Johnson’s striking image of a decorated bicycle at the Bodleian Library shop with the golden-glowing Radcliffe Camera seen through the lattice windows.

Oxford Mail: Ms Johnson has won photo of the week before but there is no rule saying the same person can’t win more than once.

Each week camera club members are given a theme and then post their photos on the club’s Facebook page.

The next theme is Christmas trees and Christmas decorations.
