Drogheda Photographic Club & Mallow Camera Club win Awar
-
FROM THE IRISH INDEPENDENT, THURSDAY 11 JAN – Two Irish amateur photography clubs have been placed in the world’s top 40 after entering the prestigious World Photographic Club Championships which was judged last week in Paris. The Federation Internationale de l’Art Photographique placed Drogheda Photographic Club in 23rd place and Cork’s Mallow Camera Club 32nd out of 150 global entries.
Des Clinton of the Drogheda Photographic Club said: “We know the folks at the Wigan club and they are incredible people. We are the top club in Ireland at the moment with about 50 members.
“There was a 27-country competition here recently and Ireland came second. The standards in this country have improved dramatically.”
Our selection of entries includes: main photo – Portrait by Manfred Krendl (ESV – St Polten, Austria); clockwise from above – The Guinness Drinker by Philip Sharnock and King Penguins by Colin Smith (both Wigan Foto 10 Club), and Horsefair Trader by Des Clinton (Drogheda Photographic Club).
Well done guys, it’s great to know that we can slug it out with the big boys!
