On Thursday evening the club traveled to Waterville to enjoy an evening of photography during the 'Blue Hour'. The challenge was to take long exposure photos of the surf, the long exposures should enable us to
give the water a milky appearance, and I'm glad to say the results shown in my Blog show that I achieved
the requirement. I finished with a few photos of Waterville town at night, and a few light trails of cars for fun, made for a satisfying evening.

This Thursday evening, the club members met at Barbara's, and the traveled to the Glen where we would shoot a panorama of Puffin Island and the skelligs. Six members and two guests were present on a chilly evening.Michael instructed all in the best methods to achieve the desired results. The following photo is my effort and is made up from seven individual photos stitched together in Elements9.

| Light and Shade in Derrynane gardens. The evening at Derrynane house was supported by six members, one potential new member, and of course Michael Herrmann. The weather was kind and very warm, causing the midges to come out in force, but a wash down in repellent seemed to do the job. After taking photographs in the gardens, the group moved on to Derrynane beach, and the old church on the cliff, where more photos were taken. The next meeting will be held at Tech Amergin, Waterville, on Friday the 10th June, at 7:00pm to sort the photos for inclusion in the forthcoming exhibition on the 19th June. It was decided that the club would meet again on thursday 16th for the final dressing of the display, prior to the exhibition.  |
Sunday 20th November saw 13 members of the camera club visit Gougan Barra for a photo shoot in one of the most picturesque attractions on the Cork area. This truly stunning area has a small church situated on a small spit of land extending into a lake. The church is a very popular venue for weddings, where the outstanding backdrop enables some fantastic wedding photos for the album. This is definitely a unique place to visit, and comes very high on my list of recommended Sunday outings.
