Club Competition – Black and White (Projected)

21 June 2025 | Club Competitions

Last Monday, 16th June, we had the pleasure of Neil McShane (blackandwhite.ie), a renowned photographer in this medium. Neil performs all his photography using film after many years working digitally. He has recently published a book, “Shades of Ireland” which demonstrates the art of Landscape Photography in this medium.

Neil gave us a considered review of the images submitted, giving us an insight into the various aspects and roles in judging, whether it is for personal enjoyment or perhaps, as a more formal entrant to an IPF competition.

Thanks to all who took part in the Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 categories and to Neil for the detailed and encouraging feedback provided to our members on their images.
