Next Monday Night – Competition Judging

Next Monday, 12 June, we will have the judging of our latest club competition on the theme of Movement. This will take place with projected images in St Bridget’s National School starting at 8pm.

 

2023 Club Exhibition 

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. The Exhibition Book will cost €30.

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 - this year like last year each image will cost €30.

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

So please act now and upload your images.

Shoot With Me

Those of us who attended the two recent SWM Showcases will have been very impressed with the diversity of activities and the quality of images presented. Congratulations to all participants and a very special thanks to all the group leaders led, of course, by Pat Divilly – without the leaders energy and enthusiasm we would not have such a successful programme. Looking forward to the Autumn series!  

Summer BBQ Set for Tuesday 20 June

Our Summer BBQ will be held at the National Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire on Tuesday 20 June starting at 8pm. So come along for a great social evening and, hopefully, a bright sunny end to the day.

Please note there will be no club activity on Monday 19 June.

IPF Shield Competition – Call for Your Images

The IPF Shield Competition is held each Autumn and Offshoot is now preparing to select a Colour and a Mono Panel to represent the club.

So please start now to look through your images and select up to a max of 5 colour and 5 mono to submit for consideration for the Offshoot entry.
