I’m not sure about Dalkey as I’m not driving and not sure if I have any time – but I am very interested. Dublin South needs a good camera clubJust turn up to a meeting.
We get new members to fill out a questionnaire form that is mostly about their photography interests so we can use that to plan our programme.Darragh

focus. We want to encourage people to be creative and have fun with their photography. There’s a lot of energy. It’s a great club to be involved with.”Highlights of the upcoming Autumn/Winter programme include: a talk from pro landscape photographer Peter Cox, a model shoot, Dave McKane
of the Institute of Photography presenting on composition and creative photography, as well as a talk on setting up studio lighting.OffShoot will be presenting their members works at this year’s Peoples Photography Exhibition around St Stephens Green on the weekend of the 29th and 30th of August.
