A night amongst the Flowers

A very big thank you to Photographer Niamh Whitty for her visit to Blackwater Photography Society on Monday night. Niamh’s genuine, honest and very insightful journey on how she combined her love of flowers and photography to create her unique and award winning images was wonderfully narrated by the artist herself and had us all captivated. She also chronicled her various accreditation excursions, detailing the dedication, time and effort involved. This impressed everyone and even scared a few of us.
Thanks again Niamh for a genuinely lovely evening.

Also – thanks to everyone involved in organising the evening especially Jerry Creedon for proving the great lighting.

Geraldine’s prize from the Irish Examiner Readers Photography Competition 2015

A very big congratulations to BPS member Geraldine Dennehy on coming runner up at the Irish Examiner Readers Photography competition for 2015. Geraldine’s photo, taken at the Millstreet Horse show, was a real fast grab that is guaranteed to make you smile. Ger won a handsome money prize and a bottle of Champagne for her image.
We’d like to thank the Irish examiner for sending us a picture of Geraldine (and her daughter) receiving her prize in the Irish Examiner offices. Well done Geraldine.

Where is it? What is it. Fun competition night.

Hi everyone,
We have our last competition before the Christmas break next Monday night (14th Dec) . The theme for this one is “Where is it? What is it?
As there was no meeting last Monday night we were unable to take the entries the week before as usual so if you could all email your entries please to Kieranomahony72@gmail.com before this Friday.
An example of this would be a very close up picture of a matchstick, then another normal picture of the matchstick. The idea is just a fun night where we have to guess what the image is or where the image was taken . This has made for a good entertaining evening in the past so please try to take part if you can.
Maximum 5 subject images each, so if you’re showing a subject images then you’d have another normal image to explain what it is or where it is, then that makes a total of 10 images altogether.
Best of luck!

  • So,the weather gods have conspired against us again!! and tonight’s (Monday 7th Dec) trip to cork city to photograph the Christmas lights will NOT be going ahead. The forecast is for heavy rain and high winds. There is no plan B for tonight due to the amount of nights we’ve had to move around so I guess we’ll all have a night in front of the fire at home, or in front of Photoshop…..at home.
