The images will be printed, mounted and framed by Steve at a cost of €30 each, unless you want to use a different paper option, as explained below.
Please pay the same club bank account that you use to pay your membership subscription. Please add your membership number and exhib in the space provided for notes.
When submitting images for the exhibition, can members please add a title to the images so they can be named on display. Please upload your files if possible in TIFF format to maximise the print quality. JPEG format is also acceptable.
The naming convention for your files is :
PhotographersName-ImageTitle.tif
Please add your images to this Dropbox link .
Exhibition Upload Paper Options
If you want your images on the standard Lustre paper there is nothing more to do.
If you wish to have a different paper type you need to add three letters after your name in the file title.
If you don’t do this the assumption is Lustre Paper.
The standard Lustre paper will cost €30 for the printing, mounting and framing of each image.
The Fine Art Pearl (FAP) and Photo Rag Matt (PRM) price will be €36.50 for each printed, mounted and framed image.
For example, if you wish to have your images on Fine Art Pearl, you should name your file: PhotographersName-FAP-Image title.tif
If you have any questions, please ask Emily.
Club Presentation at the Lexicon
In conjunction with our annual exhibition, the Lexicon have invited the club to make a presentation. This will take place in the Library on Thursday July 24th from 6pm to 7 pm.
The committee has agreed that this event will be entitled “From bend of bay to swerve of shore” and will feature projected images taken by club members of the people, places and wildlife of the area from Killiney to Sandymount. We hope to include approximately 60 images taken by a wide range of members.
If you would like to have an image included please upload up to three images to the Dropbox link below. High quality jpegs are sufficient and please name each image as follows: membership number, followed by your initials, followed by title e.g. 235EMharbourview.
The closing date for submission is June 30th, after which time the committee will select the images. Please upload images to this Dropbox Link

Final Call to Members to Collect Images at the School
We are about to do some cleaning out of the storage cupboard at the school to better accommodate our audio- visual equipment. There is a box full of mounted images belonging to members – some of these images go back to pre-covid times!!
So this is our FINAL CALL to members to collect their images over the next two club meetings.
Remaining images after this time will be donated to a charity shop unless a member has an objection to this course of action! |
