23/02/2024 Workshop

 Kevin Lim workshop in Boyle town

Many thanks to Kevin Lim for yesterday's informative intake of street photography from your perspective to our Boyle Camera Club members. The day was really enjoyed and it shone through. Many members had a kind word to say on the workshop outcome and the lessons learned that made it truly enjoyable to be there. After the morning introduction to street photography with Kevin, members flowed out to the streets to practice the art for themselves, after about 1hr 30mins we all gathered back in the clubhouse for lunch (many thanks to Martina Morris for organising the catering) from where Kevin closed out the day with some of his best insights to our abilities with the camera curbside along Boyle town where it was experienced....
