Next Monday the club
Next Monday, 21 September, we will have the renowned photographer James Crombie on Sports Photography
2026 Club Exhibition
Our 2026 Club Exhibition is on display in Ballyogan Library until 30 September. The exhibition will be taken down on Thursday, 01 October. If you are an exhibitor, please ensure that you organise for the collection of your image on that day between 10.00 and 12.00. Unfortunately, we have no capacity to store uncollected images.
WhatsApp Offshoot News
As you know this Group will be used to inform members of key activities in the club. It has now been set up and the majority of members are on it. In a few cases we were unable to add members and had to send links by text. We will resend the links today. If you receive a text from Eithne 086*****174 please click on the link. It is not a scam!
Shoot With Me
The Autumn SWM is ready to kick off with 8 interesting groups thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of our members.
You should have received an email inviting you to join a group – so check your email and apply for a topic of your choice – all the details are in the email.
The ‘lines are open’ tomorrow, Sunday 20 September at 6pm. Any emails received before that time will be put to the back of the queue!
The SWM groups will be up and running in the next week or so!
Club Competition
Entries are now open for our next OffShoot Photography Competition, with a €25 One4All voucher to the winning photographer in each Level.
Theme: Open
Printed or Projected: Printed
Limitations: Only 1 image per member
Submit Date: Monday, 21 September 2026
Judging Date: Monday, 28 September 2026
Judge: Here’s the fun bit: this is a Self Judging competition! Just bring your phone with you so you can submit your winning entry.
Printing & Mounting Cost: €14 (normal lustre paper)
Remember, this is a PRINTED competition. You can choose to print and mount your own photograph yourself – some guidelines here – but most people are likely to want to outsource that job to the OffShoot Committee for a modest fee.
Please read the following carefully before proceeding:
- PICK. Choose your best image to submit – it can be of any topic or genre. You can enter just one image in this competition. Please remember to name your files using the usual competition convention: Level No-Membership Number-Title e.g. L3-123-Blue Skies
- SUBMIT. As usual, you upload your image files to the OffShoot Dropbox link: https://tinyurl.com/offshoot-comp. Note that you still need to upload your image even if you are printing and mounting it yourself. The closing date for uploading your image is Monday 21 September.
- PAY. Click here to pay for printing and mounting. Simply select the number of images (1 for this competition) and head to the Checkout. Please include your membership number in the section “Your message for the merchant” when you get to the Checkout. Remember that if you don’t submit your payment, your images won’t get printed ☹
Printing your own images?
If you are printing and mounting your own images, you obviously don’t need to go through that final step (PAY) but you do need to SUBMIT your image electronically to the Dropbox link. Please insert “OWN” after your membership number in the title so we know you are printing yourself: L3-123-OWN-Blue Skies. You also need to bring your mounted prints to the OffShoot Club night on Monday 21 September for collection.
Best of luck, everybody. We’re looking forward to seeing as many entries as possible.
