Important Notice Regarding Covid-19

In consideration of Covid-19 and related National Guidelines the OffShoot Photography Society Committee have decided to suspend all OffShoot activity which involves meetings until at least the end of the Easter Holidays.

Further, we will not resume until such time as schools reopen and National Guidelines make it clear that group activity can recommence.

For clarity, this includes Monday night meetings, Outings and Shoot with Me (which involves group activity).

OffShoot is a photography society in the South County Dublin area with a focus on enjoying photography in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Our society caters to photographers of all standards and all genres and firmly believes we each have something we can learn and each have something we can share.

April-Supermoon-©-2020-John-Coveney
April's Full Moon - the "Pink Moon" & also a Supermoon near the Ballycorus Leadmines Chimney this morning at 6.26am. Taken from Shanganagh Park - well within my 2km from home. I had hoped to line the Moon up with the top of the chimney but trees blocked that view. Taken with Canon 100-400m at 400mm, f11, 0.6sec, ISO200

Something_Odd_Copper_Daffodil
This daffodil plant in our back-garden actually grew right through a short length of copper pipe that was in the ground. Well, I think that's odd. Also, it looks a little like a number one - that's odd, too.

Bohemian Waxwing Bird - Nomads from the North
When the berry crop fails or is just exhausted, waxwings become highly nomadic and desert their Scandinavian home patch to fly south and west in search of a food source. Thus, the eastern side of Ireland can expect a few exotic looking visitors in mid-winter. In so called Waxwing winters, many hundred birds arrive and their presence is usually noticed quickly due to the birds showy looks and their feeding behaviour. Sometimes only one or two arrive which make the bird very special.
