This Tuesday we have our first Monthly League Judging night of the season. Gerry Kerr FIPF, EFIAP/s from Celbridge Camera club is going to judge for us. Gerry’s main interests in photography are photographing people in their environment and the Natural World. Home See you all on Tuesday at 8pm sharp.

Next Tuesday, 17th Sept, at the club our very own Neil O’Reilly has agreed to show and talk about his A Panel that was recently successful at the IPF Distinctions. Neil always gives an interesting and fun talk so we’re looking forward to this one! This Tuesday is also hand in night for the first monthly league competition of the new season. Information on sizing / labelling of both printed and projected images has been sent by email. See you all on Tuesday 17th…

This Tuesday we will have our annual “Show and Tell”. This is a night where members get an opportunity to show some of the photos they’ve taken during the summer. It’s also a chance to share new places/things/methods for us to shoot. About 20 photos each would be great. It is also the 2nd Tuesday of the month which means “One Shot” night. We’re trying something a little different this year: instead of the winner picking the theme each month, we have set all the themes for the year. The thinking behind this is that members will have a more time to work on their entries. The winner will still judge the following months competition and get a prize of a 20 euro printing voucher in Harvey Norman, Rathfarnham. This month’s these is “Abstract”. BTW in case you didn’t notice the list of themes is at the bottom of this and all emails….so no excuses… Looking forward to seeing you all with your photos!

The schedule for the summer outings is below and will be updated weekly. Please remember to post a photo and vote on Flickr after each outing in the just-for-fun competition.
