Membership turned out in force to welcome Galway landscape photographer, Sean Tomkins, for his presentation at this month's club meeting. Sean presented a selection of his award-winning images of the Irish landscape that stretched from the Dingle Peninsula to the coastline of Mayo. His images reflect the mysterious and often unpredictable nature of Irish light and the seemingly endless patterns and colours that paint drama and emotion into his skyscapes.
