Foyle Camera Club Meeting

Leave a reply

Hi

Foyle Camera club had their weekly meeting tonight which involved our monthly print competition. I don’t normally enter, but decided to enter tonight – just for the fun of it.I came 12th out of 14 – 🙂 . This month’s theme was Abstract – there was a variety of images, showing everyones  interpretations  of what abstract is – each of a high quality. Mine (pictured) is of the tiled roof of my local church which is a triangular shaped building.The angle taken makes it look like floor tiles – but judge for yourself.

We also had a presentation talk from a photographer called Andy McInroy. He talked to us about his project work around photographing caves for a big project he did. He showed slides of the caves, explained the technique he used to photograph them, what inspired him to take them. He also show a range a landscape photos.

You can check out his website www.andyinroy.com to see his galleries – well worth it.

Trip around Inch and Back to Muff Woods

Leave a reply

Hi

Earlier in the week, I went to Muff Woods with my wifes uncle Sean, to try and capture more (or better) photos of the red squirrels and some birds. I managed to get more photos – as to whether they’re better or not, is another matter. They’re quite agile and it’s hard to get them to stay in one place long to get a good focus on them. Lack of experience is another reason. You can see the photos on my Flickr Account – Here’s one of the pics to give you an example.

We also went on a sight seeing trip around Inch, where he showed me where to find Herons, Pheasants and some beautiful scenery. Along the way we passed a field which had some lambs running around, I then spotted a young lamb just sitting looking around and managed to get a shot of it.

For more pics – check out my flickr site using the “more photos” link.

First Post – New Lens

1 Reply

Well,

This is my first post – and I’m happy to say  I’ve just got a new Lens.

The Lens is a Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS.  It’s being bought from a member of the camera club I’m in.  It’s in excellent condition – obviously well looked after, and being sold at a very reasonable price.

I’ve had a loan of it for a few weeks now and used it for a few shots of a red squirrel and sunsets in Dunree.
