These are some of the best photographs taken by the Hampshire Camera Clubs this week.

From marvellous sunsets to awe-inspiring animals, we've selected six photos from across the camera clubs to feature in this gallery.

This month's theme is "summer joy", and some of the chosen photos are examples of this.
