He told how he started in photography with film in the 1980’s and began printing in Black and White, when he developed his passion for Landscape Photography. He was impressed by the work of Fay Goodwin which presented the possibilities of using photography as an art form. He photographed the Val d’Orchia in Tuscany and showed some stunning shots from the trip. Sean also showed work from some of his visits to the United States.Sean then showed a selection of Irish landscapes from areas that are readily accessible from his home near Limerick, the Kerry Coast, Curragh Chase, Milltown Malbay, Fanore, and the Loop Head Peninsula.

Colour Management and Print Workshop with Ciarán Rooney
Saturday 19th May. Ciaran Rooney from Filmbank Colour Management delivered a workshop to members in St. Joseph’s Resource Centre, Boyle on the intricacies of colour space, profiling, colour management and printing. As the club moves towards encouraging members to be more active with regard to printing their images, it is appropriate that the relevant issues be addressed by experts in this field. Ciaran’s business is concerned with high-end fine art printing and we were delighted that he was able to make the trip from his studio in Dublin to share his knowledge of this often misunderstood and complex craft.
