Oxford Mail Camera Club members have been taking photos of local sport.

That was our latest weekly theme and it prompted striking images of team sports, and of sailing and athletics, at various sporting venues around the county.

It was difficult to pick a winner for photo of the week but Barry Symonds’ photo of jockeys lining up for a flying finish immediately caught our attention.

It captures the thrill of the race with four furlongs still left to run.

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

A selection of photos are featured in the Oxford Mail, The Oxford Times and online, and one image is chosen as photo of the week.

To find out more about camera club, how it is run and how to join you can visit the club’s Facebook page.

The next theme for members is ‘sunrises/sunsets’.
