Next Monday Night – Travels to Japan and Korea

Next Monday evening at 8 pm in St Bridget’s School Jean Clarke will talk to us about her travels in Japan and Korea. She will show her collection of images of wonderful scenery and interesting people. This is a talk not to be missed so come along and join Jean on her travels.

Last Monday Night – Competition Judging on Zoom

Last week we had the judging of our Club Competition on the theme of the “Natural World”. Congratulations, of course, to all the members whose images graced the top places but congratulations too to everybody who submitted images for adjudication.

The winning images are on our website and the link is in the "From the OffShoot Website" section below. The video recording of the judging can also be accessed from the "Members Area" of the website.

 

URGENT- Please Collect Your Printed Images

We are under pressure to tidy up our storage unit in the school. We have a significant number of unclaimed images stored in the school. These include prints from the recent competition, the last Shoot With Me showcases and also from earlier events – even before the Covid disruption.

So please come to collect your prints on Monday evening or arrange for another member to collect them on your behalf.

 

Plans for the 2023 Club Exhibition Developing

 

This year’s exhibition will be held between 12th July and 26th August on the fourth floor of the Lexicon in Dun Laoghaire.

We also plan to compile a book of the exhibition images that will be available at the time of the event.

Members may have a maximum of two images each in the exhibition.

The Dropbox link to upload images is here. Please upload your images in their full size in tiff format – this enables Steve to print your images to the best quality.

The images will be printed, mounted and framed by Steve and his company 360dpi.

The closing date for uploading your images is 12th June 2023.

So now is the time to start thinking about which of your photos you would like to see on display!!
