Club Meeting - Wednesday 10th June

Conor Dowling presents his IPF Distinctions submission at this month's club meeting.

This month's main presentation was delivered by Competitions Secretary, Conor Dowling. Conor, who was recently awarded his Licentiate from the Irish Photographic Federation, discussed the process of preparing for the IPF Distinctions. He presented his 'panel' of 10 printed photos based on a 'Wildlife' theme and brought the club through the submission criteria. Conor is hopeful that his success will encourage other club members to consider preparing for the Distinctions awards and he is happy to advise interested members in a formal workshop in advance of the next awards selection due to take place in October.

Members considering applying for an IPF Distinction would do well to read the handbook published by the Royal Photographic Society which is available to download HERE.

The first round of submissions for the club's Annual Exhibition were also prepared and presented by Conor. The theme for this year's exhibition is 'Love Where You Live' and members are asked to send in their best photos for consideration. It was agreed that the standard of members work continues to improve and that another fine exhibition will be mounted as part of the Boyle Arts Festival in July.

A Sub-Committee to coordinate and organise the exhibition was elected.

Members are asked to submit an additional TWO photos on the 'Love Where You Live' theme for this month on or before 1st July.
