Welcome to OffShoot Photography Society
|
OffShoot is a photography society for the South Dublin/North Wicklow region. The society meets every Monday night in the St Paul's Parish Centre at 8pm. All types of photographer are welcome: from absolute beginners to professionals, and from digital shooters to large format film buffs. We have a very active programme along with our forums where members discuss their photography and advise each other. As a society, we are focused on the final image and this is represented by our critique section in the forum and our informal competitions where members set topics and judge each others work.

On Location Outing is to the Wicklow Gaol. (See: http://www.wicklowshistoricgaol.com/) This outing was run very successfully last year and was a great experience for all who attended. Essentially, we will be given access to all areas in the Gaol to our selves (no Public). There will be at least two models present dressed according to the character of the setting. Wicklow Tourism is kindly allowing us access to this unique setting. In return, we have committed to: - Provide some publicity shots of the Gaol itself and some candid shots of the night for publicity
- Provide photographs for them to select for public display in their cafe.
(It turns out that this was the most difficult thing to be sorted last year, so if you sign up prepare to be bugged by Carl and Me until you produce something. As incentive, keep in mind that this is a chance to be published...) This is not a free event. - There is a cover charge of €15 per head in advance to cover models and the caretaker. This is very reasonable considering the unique experience this is.
- There is a maximum of 15 people for this shoot so make your mind up! First 15 to give me €15 will be included! By all means Email your intent to

but no mon no fun:-)
- This is a low light event so you need to have a tripod, and a proper off camera flash. A reflector would be a good idea too.
- You must be there on time! For insurance reasons the gates close at 5:15 so be there. Take care that it can take 1 to 2 hours to get to Wicklow at that time of day so you will have to leave early.
- This outing is open to all; however, this is not a formal teaching event. Beginners and new members please do come but be ready to take photos and to learn by experience and watching others. The experienced members will help when they can but they are there to shoot as well.
Thanks to Carl for organising this for us. Please Note: As with all offshoot outings this is a fun but professional event. All attendees are asked to respect the venue and to respect the people who are giving us access. We will continue to organise events such as these throughout the year. We depend on your participation, courtesy and professionalism. However, we also expect you to have Fun! If any aspect of this could be improved please let me know! Cheers, Outings Sec. |
