Photoshoots & Motivational Slideshows

At this month's club meeting we arranged a club photoshoot for Saturday 24th May. This will take place in the late evening near the bandstand in the park beside Lough Melvin in Garrison, Co Fermanagh. Pat Mullan will be arriving with a vintage 1949 Ford Drop-Head Coupé, and there will be opportunities to take photographs both of the car itself, and possibly get some taken of you sitting in it. Pat expects to be ready for us with the car about 8:00pm.


Also we are hoping to have a photoshoot on the top of Truskmore Mountain (the highest mountain in Counties Leitrim and Sligo) on Sunday 22 June. Don't worry - you will not be expected to walk up the mountain, as we shall be arranging to drive up the RTE access road to the RTE masts on the summit. Weather permitting there should be great views from the summit. The summit itself, with the RTE masts, will present great opportunities or photographs as well. Further details will be issued closer to the date.


The slideshow shown at this month's meeting of the images submitted for the "Derelict Buildings" motivation theme has now been uploaded to the club's YouTube page and you can view it here.


And finally a reminder that the motivational theme for the June meeting is Colours.

Hope to see as many of you as possible in Garrison on the 24th!

May Meeting Reminder

A late reminder to all that the May club meeting will be held this coming Thursday (8 May) in the usual venue of The Cabin, Rossinver, Co Leitrim (beside the football field) from 8pm to 10pm.

We were hoping to have a talk from a Roscommon photographer during the first half of the meeting. Unfortunately he is not available this month but has agreed to talk to us in the July meeting. As a result we have arranged "something else" which hopefully will interest you all. So come along and have some fun! Who knows, you might learn something as well.


After the break there will be the usual slideshow of members' photographs from this month's motivational theme Derelict Buildings. Nine members submitted a total of 32 photographs for this slideshow.

Finally here's a photograph of the eight club members who attended the club photoshoot at Florencecourt House last Saturday. A great time was had by all in spite of the poor weather. A full report on the shoot will be given at this month's meeting.
