The South Kerry Camera Club photo shoot at Knighstown,Valentia. The original idea was to take a small boat to Beginish Island to photograph unusual rock formations, but as the evening was so foggy, with fine rain, this was abandoned, and the members took photos around the harbour and marina instead. A total of nine members and four guests attended, which is very commendable considering the inclement weather, even so all attending appeared to be enjoying the experience, and the evening finished with a kind invitation from Richard for tea and coffee, and biscuits in the Valentia life boat station club room.
