Next Monday Night
After our Bank Holiday break, we are back to zoom mode next Monday evening. We have a session under the title “Making the Shot – Planning and Execution of some of Simon Roy’s favourite and Most Successful Wildlife Images” If you would like to check out some more about Simon and his work, visit www.simonroyphotography.co.uk
Exhibition
Remember the halcyon days before the pandemic when we displayed our work in Deansgrange Library? There was a certain pride in printing and framing an image and presenting it for public critique or praise. How many people borrowing books perused the display of in excess of 100 photographs taken by members?
We considered an on-line exhibition forum where you “walked” around an exhibition hall but it wasn’t the same as the real thing. So now as Ireland is tentatively opening up, we propose to try for that ‘real thing’ but we need your help.
David Whitaker and Tony Jobling did a fantastic job in previous years and we thank them most sincerely and we can appreciate their desire to pass on the baton. So, what do we need? Well the most obvious is folks who would replace Dave and Tony. We’re not going to throw you in at the deep end and David and Tony have kindly offered all the advise you may need for the task.
But we also need space to show the images, preferably a large space for 100 or more photographs. Does anyone have a contact in a shopping centre or anywhere which has a good footfall?
If you can help please let us know by contacting secretary@offshoot.ie
IPF National Shield Autumn 2021
While we do not have an exact date for the 2021 National Shield due to the pandemic, it is time to start gathering the images on behalf of the club.
So members are now asked to gather images together for submission. A member can enter 5 colour images and 5 mono images for consideration.
Please look back over your current and back catalogue to choose your images. The images can be from any time period and any genre.
Barry Dillon, our IPF Liaison, will be in touch again shortly with details on how to submit the images – but in the meantime get stuck in!
After the high standard set at the 2021 Club Championships, we look forward to seeing your submission.
