Weekend Away:

Our trip to the Aran Islands proved to be great success - 23 of us headed out to Inis Oirr, the smallest island, last Friday. There was good weather, good company, lots of Guinness and, of course, lots of photo opportunities.

Follow our antics on Flickr!

While we were there, the Saturday 4pm 'Moment in Time' challenge took place. Wherever you were at that time, members were urged to join in by taking a photo - send images in to Joe in the usual way (info@boylecameraclub.com) and we'll see what the result is!

Competition:

TOP (the fuel company – formerly TOP Oil) is running a photography competition which is open to any amateur photographer, of any subject, taken anywhere in Ireland. The winning photos will be compiled to make the TOP Calendar for 2011 – distributed to 50,000 homes. More information can be found HERE. Entries can be sent to photo@top.ie with the why, when and where the photo was taken. The closing date is 30th June.

Exhibition 2010:

Don't forget, the deadline for entries to our Summer Exhibition is Friday next, June 18th. Send your best two pictures in via e-mail, but also send high resolution images for printing to: Boyle Camera Club, c/o The Greenway Emporium, Market Yard, Boyle, Co Roscommon, either on a CD, or on a USB drive.

What will YOU be up to on Saturday at 4pm??

• A moment in time – even if you can't be with us in the Aran Islands, you can join us in our just-for-fun photo exercise on Saturday afternoon. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, take a photo at exactly 4pm on Saturday, June 12th, and send it in to Joe at info@boylecameraclub.com in the usual way. The subject can be anything you like, but it MUST be taken at exactly 4pm. Its just for fun – and we'll show the images at one of our upcoming meetings (don't forget, we have ways of checking that you haven't cheated with the time keeping!!).
• We're off on our weekend away tomorrow, Friday. Photos will, of course, be posted on Flickr and we will probably meet for a whole evening to show Aran Island images, separate from our monthly meeting – watch this space!
• If you've ever used your camera for making phone calls, then you'll have found Tony Murphy's talk about Camera Phones inspiring. An un-edited image from a phone (composition is paramount here) is our next Motivation.
  Portrait Photography was the June Motivation, with last month's speaker, Tony Geoghegan choosing the top three images from each category. Read more about our June meeting here.
• The deadline for entries into the Summer Exhibition in the Libary during Boyle Arts Festival is next week. Send your best two shots (suitable for printing to A4 size only) in to us in the usual way by Friday, June 18th (late entries won't be accapted). You also need to send your images in their original format (for printing) on a CD or USB drive to: Boyle Camera Club, c/o The Greenway Emporium, Market Yard, Boyle, Co Roscommon. Entrants will be required to pay €12 each (towards costs) and will have to agree to do some sitting time on the rota. A mounted print of their exhibition picture will be available for each entrant at the end of the Show. Throughout the Exhibition (which runs from July 21st to 31st) pictures will be for sale, with proceeds going to charity. For more information contact Louise on 086 0814683.
