Subjects for the theme ‘Broken’ could include glass, windows, old houses, closed businesses, broken bulbs, fallen trees, eggs, potholes, death, rusting cars, etc. One website defines broken as “reduced to fragments, not functioning properly, out of working order, a sky being more than half but not covered in clouds, changing direction abruptly.”

Mallow Camera Club Photography Workshop in Killarney

Posted on 16 March 2013 by seanmurphy

Members are invited to our practical photography skills workshop which is being held in Killarney on Monday next. Anyone interested in traveling is invited to be at The Arches Bar in Mallow by 10am (if you wish to car share) or meet at Molly Dancy’s Pub at Mucross at 11am. We will be taking pictures on the lakes area, having a bit of craic and doing what we all love. Most of all, we’ll be learning and sharing knowledge about photography.

Bring your camera, tripod, filters and remote shutter release (if you have them), plus anything else that you think might come in handy. The event is going ahead regardless of weather conditions (we have an ‘indoor plan’) so bring rainwear and boots or wells.

We plan to ‘recover’ afterwards in a local hostelry. For more info, contact Aisling O’Connor, Viv Buckley or Bill Power, who are co-ordinating the workshop.

Call For Images – SACC Interclub Competition

Posted on 5 March 2013 by John Doheny

Mallow Camera Club is looking for images for selection on to our panels for the upcoming SACC Interclub Competition, which will take place on 24th March. The club will be entering three panels again this year, Colour Print, Monochrome Print and Digital Projected Image; each panel consisting of ten images. Each photographer can have up to two images on each panel i.e. a total of six images.

The selection committee are asking all club members, advanced, intermediate and novice to submit images for consideration on Monday night next, 11th March. Images for consideration should preferably be prints, plus corresponding high resolution image files on CD or memory stick (both to be submitted at the same time). The image files must be of high quality and capable of being printed to competition size.

There are prizes for both clubs and individuals in the SACC Interclub Competition so it is worth putting your best images forward for consideration. There is no entry fee for individuals, as only clubs pay an entry fee to the competition.

The more images we have to select from, the more likely we’ll have a quality panel – so please try to submit a few for consideration.

Don’t forget the next club meeting will be in the Mercy Centre on Monday 11th March (see post below).
