Autumn Colours at Union Wood - Jordan Cummins

After the tea/coffee break we were treated to a presentation by Dublin based photographer, Gerry Andrews.

Gerry gave us an insight into his photographic journey so far, which started at the Limerick Leader newspaper, where he developed his interest in photography, and has led him all over the world, with many awards and exhibitions along the way. He presented many images from his vast catalogue of Photo Journalistic and Documentary photos, including the widely acclaimed collection of images from Limerick's Milk Market in the 1970's. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Gerry for such an interesting and impressive presentation. 

Our next meeting is on Tuesday, 13th December at 8pm, in St. Josephs Resource Centre, Boyle. New members are always welcome.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Recent Club Photoshoot to Castlecoote House

Some of our club members are pictured below, enjoying a visit to Castlecoote House, in Co. Roscommon, yesterday. This is always an enjoyable photoshoot, with plenty of photo opportunities and a chance for members to meet up. Keep an eye on the Boyle Camera Club Flickr Pool where many of the images from the day will be posted.

December Motivation - 'Shadows, Lines and Curves'

The monthly motivation theme for December is 'Shadows, Lines and Curves'. This theme can be interpreted widely, from still life to landscape, from abstract to conventional, there are endless possibilities. It may help to research the theme online or to look at other photographers work, to see how they use shadows, lines and curves in the creation of their images. Below we have an excellent example of a photo that fits this theme, by our own Paraic Brennan.

Next Club meeting will be held on Tuesday, 13th December, at 8pm in St. Joseph's Resource Centre, Boyle.
