Last Monday Night
Last Monday we were treated to a presentation by David Keep on “Sports Images with Impact” describing his process driven approach to producing remarkable sports shots aimed at winning competitions.
Next Monday Night
On Monday 30 August our meeting moves from virtual to reality – a chance to catch up with friends, make new friends and have a natter about anything really. We may even get a chance to take some photographs. This, however, is a real meeting with the chat thrown in!
Just a few details:
1. We’ll meet in Grand Canal Square by the Bord Gais Theatre
2. The idea is to meet at 18.30 for the Golden Hour which starts at 19.31
3. Sunset is at 20.18 directly west up the Liffey
4. The Blue Hour ends at 20.55
5. High Tide is at 17.45 so there will be plenty of water.
Now if you don’t under stand the Golden Hour and Blue Hours come along and find out.
It has been so long since we have all been together; new members have joined and we need to greet you properly. This is a real chance before winter sets in to have an opportunity to put faces on names and have a real, rather than a virtual, chat. Please join us.

IPF National Shield Autumn 2021
