Boyle Camera Club events are as much about fun and learning as they are about getting good photos and today was no exception. The indoor shoot at St. Joseph's Resource Centre in Boyle was well attended, the craic was good too and nobody thought to take the customary roll-call group shot!
Members had a chance to test the club's studio lights in a fun, informal portraiture session. Members were very generous in sharing advice and equipment. Later, the Beginners Group attended a presentation on Shutter Speed in preparation for this month's Motivation - 'Action'. Participants were unanimous in their agreement that we should do this kind of shoot more often.

During the shoot, some members were made aware of the usefulness of a set of radio triggers to remotely fire the studio lights. These are a very welcome addition to any aspiring photographer's kit bag. As many members cameras do not have a 'sync-lead' input socket, a radio trigger is an effective substitute. It was proposed that the club enquire into the cost of a suitable set of triggers and take names of those interested in purchasing at the next club meeting.
