Kilronan Castle Photoshoot - December 2008

Kilronan Photoshoot December 2008
Boyle Camera Club members at Keadue

A bitterly cold and frosty morning did not deter 18 members of Boyle Camera Club from their monthly photoshoot. On Sunday 7th December, a cavalcade of cars braved the road to Keadue and stopped off to capture the foggy light at Lough Meelagh before going to the beautifully restored Kilronan Castle. The management gave members free access to explore and photograph the castle and grounds. The restoration project, a credit to the developers, reflects great attention to architectural detail which effectively marries the antique and contemporary with an equally impressive collection of furniture and artworks. The club are grateful to the management and staff for the opportunity to explore this very fine and luxurious retreat.

Club Meeting Wednesday 10th December

This months club meeting will take place in The Moving Stairs at 8pm. As usual, a full agenda is planned but will include some time to socialise and sample some very fine finger-food to celebrate the Christmas Season.
The meeting will include a presentation on the use of the clubs recently acquired studio lights. Tony will show members how to set these up and use them to create stunning portraits and still life photos.
This months MOTIVATION images will be reviewed. Conor and Peter will discuss entries and present the Motivation for January. MOTIVATION images for this month 'Silhouettes', can be viewed HERE.
If time allows, Tony may present one of his 'Image Make-overs' to demonstrate how a little thoughtfulness and imagination can transform a simple photograph.
The meeting will conclude after 9.00pm and members can relax and enjoy the food-fare provided by the Moving Stairs and should they wish, talk about their photographic problems and exploits informally.

We look forward to seeing you all there. New members are always welcome.
