Competition

Congratulations to the winners of the Lough Allen Photo Competition: Amy Clarke took first place, with Norman Little second, Linda Duffy third and Susan Duffy fourth. Highly commended were Margaret Dolan, Andy Rimmer and Tommy Earley. View the winning photos HERE. The prizes were presented by David Farrell and the Club expresses its gratitude to the Farrell family for their hard work in running the competition.

Club Business

Our November meeting included mention of the sad passing of one of our past members, Betty Meyler, who died the day of the competition after a long illness.

We also heard from picture framing expert Marion Fink-Thews, who showed us the different effects of coloured mounts and frames.

Tony Murphy gave a detailed critique of the Motivation entries, which were on the theme of 'Natural Frames'. Read the critique HERE.

Our next Motivation will be to picture a film title. We expect wit and ingenuity as well as fine camera work!

The portable studio lights are still available for any member to borrow. Call in to The Greenway Emporium in Market Yard, Boyle, to pick them up.

Forthcoming Exhibition

Next up for the Club is an exhibition/sale of work on December 10th-12th, when members have the opportunity to sell some of their photographs directly to the public. There is no limit of the subject or size, but the pictures must be in black frames with white or cream mounts. You will be able to set your own price, but the Club will take a 10 per cent commission on sales. Please let Louise know (on the usual number you receive texts from!) if you are interested in being part of the exhibition, by the end of this week (November 12th). If we haven't heard from you by then, we will assume you don't want to be included! The exhibition will be in the former Chambers Restaurant, opposite the Royal Hotel in Bridge Street, Boyle. Pictures will need to be ready to hang the week beginning December 6th, so hurry!
