Next Monday Night – Shoot With Me Showcase #2
Our second Spring Shoot With Me Showcase will take place next Monday night at the school and on Zoom.
This follows a very enjoyable presentation last Monday from the first six groups.
These meetings will be hybrid meetings with a remote joining Zoom option.
Our Club Exhibition - Final Call for Images
The Annual Club Exhibition returns this year and will be held in the DLR Lexicon over 6 weeks commencing 12 July 2022. You may now submit your images for the exhibition via this Dropbox link:
https://www.dropbox.com/request/QiiYhKLD9LcFcbXBsfeD
The closing date for submission of images is 31 May – so please act now if you wish your images to be included. You may submit up to 3 images. The cost is €30 per image which includes printing, mounting and framing – this cost is after the club subsidy.
The launch party has been booked for the first night of the exhibition (12 July) at the Royal Marine Hotel in Dun Laoghaire – so please put that date in your calendar!
The Summer Barbeque
The Summer BBQ is now scheduled for 13 June at the National Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire. That’s another date for your calendar!
Please also let us know by email to secretary@offshoot.ie if you intend to be there so we can plan appropriately for the event.
IPF National Club Competitions
The judging of the IPF National Club Competition was held last Saturday. Offshoot achieved the following overall results:
Colour Panel 12th position out of 26
Mono Panel 11th position out of 26
Thanks to all members who submitted images for consideration and to the Club group of assessors who selected the final panels.
We will shortly be starting the process of seeking members' images for the IPF National Shield which takes place in the Autumn.
Next Club Competition – “People in Images”
The theme of our next Club Competition is People in Images which you can interpret anyway you like as long as there is a person or people in the image. The person/people don’t have to be the subject but can be there for scale, perspective or of course the main subject. Images can be portraits, street, architecture, landscape, mono or colour – it is up to you to have fun with the theme!
For Level 2 and Level 3 the image must have been taken with a 35mm or 50mm full frame equivalent focal length.
For all levels, to encourage continuous improvement and to get members out taking photos, all images should have been taken within the last year.
As usual please save your images in JPEG format and name them with your Level Number, Membership Number and Image Title:
L2-001-Image title.jpg
This is a printed competition – so hand in will be on Monday 20 June at the club (school)- files to Steve for printing no later than 13 June (link will be published later).
The judging will be on Monday 27 June and the judge is Michelle La Grue from Malahide Camera Club (https://www.michellelagruephotography.com/)

The Theme of the Week
This week's theme is: Symmetry
Symmetry refers to any sort of reflection across an imaginary line. Symmetry is a great way for photographers to create visually pleasing and well balanced images.
You can find vertical, horizontal, radial and reflective symmetry in nature, architecture and the human form.
