It was good to be back last Monday and get to see some of the great shots taken over the summer by everyone. Plenty from the outings, which shows the good work that went into arranging them by our outings team.
This Monday we have a talk and presentation by Aisling O’Rourke. Aisling is a journalist and documentary photographer. Born and raised in the Midlands of Ireland Aisling seeks to give an intimate insight into worlds ordinarily hidden from public view. She works in both visuals and audio and intends to focus more on combining these skills into the future.
Aisling will be talking about “Making space for the decisive moment”. It’s about freeing up the mental space to actually see what’s right in front of us and see that all too elusive “decisive moment” (She’s a Cartier Breson fan.)
It’s all too easy to get so caught up in the act of getting ready for a shoot and ending up snapping away without really thinking.
The organisation of Audio Visuals for Club MeetingsTony is stepping down from this role and a replacement (or two) is URGENTLY required. Can anyone willing and able to assist speak to either Tony or Ian at the next meeting (or email chairperson@offshoot.ie).Next IPF Distinction SittingThe next distinction sitting is on 15th September in Carlow. Several club members are preparing panels for this event.

Shoot with Me - Autumn 2018
We now have 9 confirmed facilitators for Shoot With Me – thanks to those who responded so quickly!
We still need 3 more to get this kicked off!
We would love to hear from members who have not previously run an SWM. Also, you can run one jointly with another member if that helps? Please email Helen ASAP if you are interested.
So don’t delay - email Helen at swm@offshoot.ie with your ideas or give me a call if you wish to discuss it. I look forward to hearing from you !!
Congratulations
Congratulations also to Mike Smith for having his image of a Luas at Beresford selected for the MS Ireland 2019 Calendar.
