I got an email from John Doheny IPF saying that he’d updated the site to include a Clubs link and he has increased the amount of clubs listed too. Check it out here: http://www.irishphoto.ie/

I have updated the list today to take note of a Dublin based Polish Photographic group calling themselves In Focus.

Regards,
Rob

I was in this same situation. I was asked to do the photos for a friends wedding, I looked on it as an oppertunity I wouldn’t normally get. I charged them €200 to make it official and the cost of the prints so total for €250.

Regards,
Rob
btw I also had well over a thousand photos to sort.

I joined a club called the Pius X Camera Club in early 1960s. It met in the church hall attached to Pius X church in Terenure. I was the youngest member at maybe 11 or 12 years old. After a short while some members left Pius and formed the Metro Cine and Camera Club. There were a lot of debates about the name!. it met in the church hall attached to Francis Street church, with the sound of tap dancing children in the next room.

A man called John Kelly, who had a religious picture business in Terenure built, dark rooms.

I stopped attending the club after a year of two, but not before making a film in which i played a delinquent teenager rescued by football. Mostly shot by John from a plywood box fixed to the roof of his Austin Cambridge. Does anyone remember the club, or any of the people involved?

:lol:

Any update on this Eamon? Did you find out any info?

These cards are fantastic. Has anyone got in touch with the National Photographic Archive to see if they know anything about them.

Have you a list of what has been re-photographed and what needs to be?

Good point Brian about the number and quality of the photos. I was thinking of charging around the €400 mark so its nice to hear you confirm that.

I have some business cards printed up by Vista already but think I’d leave the notepaper and website until I had been at it a year, so I’d know where I stood.

How long should I stay at one of these parties? These things usually start around 7.30/8pm and go on all hours. Would three hours be enough and €50 per hour after that?

Cheers,
Rob

I’ll second that. One of the best magazines out there.

I organise mine using folders and sub folders but if you have Lightroom you should be able to organise using tags. There is no one way for organsing photos, everyone has a different method, some organise by year.

What way are you cds organised? Maybe use whatever name you have on the cds and create “virtual cds” on your harddrive i.e. folders with the same name as the cd.

Btw if you only have one harddrive get yourself a second one and preferably a different brand just to be safe.

I know its a been a while since it was updated,One member went to all the trouble to set it up,in the thinking it would be a regular meeting place and members would be able to upload their own photos in the gallery ,thus making it updated . I will be bringing this up at committee level again in the coming weeks and we might even try simplify the site to make it more visitor friendly . Thanks for the comments and I’ll try keep you posted of any improvements

No problem. I think keeping it updated it very important as the site will probably be the first place potential new members visit.

Fair point Dave. I wondered about that too.
I never worked out how to get pics from my old phone to my computer.

There are four ways you can get a photo from your phone to your pc

1) Infrared – buy a infrared dongle for your pc.
2) Bluetooth – buy a bluetooth dongle for your pc.
3) USB – install software on pc and connect the USB lead to pc and import photos
4) Memory Card – if no USB lead put it has a memory card, put the card in a reader and connect to pc.

If you have a really old picture phone like my old Sony Ericsson, then infrared is the only option. Its a bit slow but it works. Alternativly, what I did was IR the photos from my old phone to my new phone (Sony Ericsson K750i), which supported all the above options and lets you transfer the pictures at your own pace without having to be tied to a pc for hours.

There is one last option but it really reduces the qaulity (size) of the photo and that is to MMS the photo to Vodafone or Flickr and download it to your pc.

Hope that helps,
Rob
