Is anything happening with this society? When does it meet, and where?

Sounds like somebody changed his mind. Probably just as well. It takes a lot of work to get a club going, and even more work to keep it going week in and week out. Photography is well covered in Limerick anyway.

That’s a great shot of Sarsfield bridge. Best I’ve seen. Definitely worth carrying the camera with you eh?

Musta been a Ryanair flight if it was at stupid o’clock.

I was at the Doon v Caherline Junior B match last night. Any thoughts on what was good/bad, what to try and improve on, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Generally, for ball sports, the best shots are close in, and they show both the competitors’ faces and the ball. and any background clutter should be out of focus, so the main subjects of the shot stand out.

Your second shot meets those criteria, though it could be cropped a bit tighter. In the first shot, the ball has gone, and the player in red in the background is very intrusive, as is the pole. The leg, the hurley and the arm on the right hand side should be cloned out.

The third shot needed to be much tighter on the three players for impact and the horizon needs to be levelled.

The fourth shot has neither the face nor the ball and, though the body language is eloquent, I feel that there is too little happening here. If there was more to that shot, I would definitely clone out the traffic cones.

Congratulations Kevin. Stellar work as always.

Well done to everyone who took part in this contest. I joined too late to take part this year, but I’d love to have a go next year.

I absolutely love this one. It has lovely leading lines and an exceptionally dramatic and compositionally beautiful sky. The castle looks eerie and the single tree beside it looks wonderful. I could see myself as a traveller on that road experiencing real approach/avoidance issues. Should I go there? It looks creepy! But no, it looks beautiful too! What to do?

I’m not sure if opening up the shadows on the castle area might improve it, or darkening the castle completely to make it look more threatening. It might be worth experimenting with the image a little bit more. But it works well for me, just as it is.

It works for me. This is a fine image. I think I would leave it just as it is. Lovely light, balance and colour.
