Update on 15/05/24 Meeting

We had our very own Matthew Gammon as speaker last night, which was very informative

and surely he has given us members a different approach to photography, from chatting to 

us about his printing technic to the aspects of entering the Irish Photography federations competitions for both club and individual past and future and also his journey in the business in achieving his goals in doing so, Matthew also displayed some of his work physically and on the big screen, 

And we thank Matthew for educating us and wish him the very best in his new studio.

Last night also saw members bring camera equipment to the meeting that was no longer needed 

and would have liked to share with other members that may have found better use for it, 

this practice was a non-profit share/swap basis and turned out to be a great idea by members
