Blackwater Photographic Society
The Blackwater Photographic Society was founded in 2013 by a group of photography enthusiasts in the North Cork area.
On November 19th Blackwater Photographic Society will welcome local photographer John Hooton to the club where he will showcase images and talk to us about his new book entitled “IRELAND The way we were”
John will also show us various other images from his vast portfolio that he has built up over the years.
This promises to be a fantastic evening of photography and history and is open to everyone to come along on the night.
Last night we had our first of the season club competition. The competition took place on Monday night with the theme for this one being “Open”.
We had a great entry and some excellent images were on display.
We would like to say a big thank you to our 3 judges, Des Glynn, Sigita Playdon and Michael Gough, all from Solus Camera club Galway for all their time and effort and for doing such a fantastic job judging.
Big congratulations to all the winners!!
