One of the most enjoyable aspects of club membership is attending the many different outings and trips that are organised every few weeks.
We try to visit places which will give our members the opportunity to shoot subjects appropriate for our upcoming club competitions. These outings are a great way to get to know other members and learn from some of our more experienced photographers.
After a busy morning of shooting, we typically head to a local coffee shop for refreshments before heading back to Blanchardstown to collect our cars. From time to time we arrange bigger trips away in Ireland or further afield. Over the last few years we’ve been everywhere from Achill Island to Bologna!
Recent Trips and Events.
Club Spring Trip to Seville, Spain
Fifteen members and guests set off on our annual photo trip abroad, this year going to Seville, Spain.
It’s a lovely city with historical buildings and lots of parks. We are walking our feet off and enjoying the food and drink and lovely sunshine. Some of our group have taken a day trip to nearby Donana National Park and some have taken the train to Cordoba.
Blanchardstown Tidy Towns Integration Event
Saturday 1st Feb, St Brigid’s Day
Some of our members represented our Club in the Blanchardstown Tidy Towns Integration Event in the Community Centre on Saturday 1st Feb, St Brigid’s Day. It was a lively event, with lots of new immigrants to the Blanchardstown area as well as lots of other community groups. We introduced the club and offered to photograph attendees as portraits, in groups and while enjoying the music and dancing. Many availed of the opportunity and agreed that the photos would be uploaded on our website.
Painting with light Shackleton Gardens 11 Jan 25
We had a rather different outing this month, which was inspired by Barbara and the Outings Committee. The outing was well attended. We met after dark with cameras, tripods and a dizzying array of light sources.
A lot of waving of lights and a lot of pattern formation in the air was magically transformed into colourful creative images. It was fun and very different.
