Good brainstorming session at last week’s meeting – some great ideas from our members! Thank you all for your input!
This week, January 24th, our very own Philip O’Toole is giving a talk on Photoshop and will be taking questions on Photoshop processes.
This week is also our Monthly League Competition entry night so good luck to all our entrants – look forward to seeing you images on the 31st for judging!
This Tuesday, January 17th at the TPS, we’re going to have a look at what’s on this coming season and also open the floor to our members for ideas and suggestions for our weekly meetings and other club activities. This is your club after all, and we want to make sure that you are getting what you want from the club – so get your thinking caps on!
There’s no such thing as a bad idea and all suggestions are welcome.
Congratulations to Kevin Maguire on winning the One-Shot competition for mobile phone photography with a lovely wintery image. Kevin has chosen Excitement as the theme for February’s competition. The subject is wide open, but the image must convey a feeling or have the impression of excitement. Entries to be submitted and judged on February 7th. Good luck!
Happy New Year to all! Our first meeting for 2012 is this Tuesday, January 10th, at 7.30pm in the Rua Red. We’re kicking off the new season in style with guest speaker, East Cork’s Wesley Law ARPS AIPF. For more info on Wesley’s photography visit his website: http://
This week is also our entry night for January’s One-Shot competition! This month’s theme is “Mobile Phone Photography” and will be judged by December’s winner Andy Patterson!
For more on what is planned for 2012, see our programme - please bear with us as it’s still a work in progress but will be updated regularly!
The Tallaght Photographic Society would like to wish all of our members, friends and their families a very Happy Christmas and our very best wishes to all for happiness and prosperity in the New Year!
Our next club meeting will take place in the Rua Red at 7.30pm on Tuesday, January 10th, 2012 – new members are always welcome and we look forward to seeing you all then!
The Tallaght Photographic Society Christmas party is on this weekend, Saturday December 17th at 8.00pm in the Old Mill pub, Tallaght. It costs only €10 per person and there will be finger food and some good craic in great company! Hope to see you there!
We can meet at the Rua Red and get the LUAS into town from there – please be there before 7.30pm as we will be leaving promptly at 7.30 – if you’re there any later you will have missed us.
Alternatively, you can make your own way into town and meet us there! Make your way to Grafton Street and we can meet at Stephen’s Green SC get some nice Christmassy photos and maybe get in a drink or two!
This will be our last club meeting until the new year – January 10th – but remember that we also have our Christmas party at the Old Mill pub on Saturday, December 17th.
Hope to see you then.
At our meeting this Tuesday, our very own Steve McGrane will be doing a talk on HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography and on infrared photography. Steve has produced some beautiful images using both methods and it should be very interesting seeing the processes involved.
A huge thank you and congratulations to John Byrne, Craig Fox, Eddie Cody, Tony Victory, Shane O’Keeffe and Anne Koenig on the success of this year’s TPS International Salon. This team work extremely hard each year on the salon and it has grown from strength to strength every year in the 21 years it has been running. With over 4,000 entries from 51 countries, the Salon is something that every TPS member should be proud to be involved in, and it could only have been achieved with the effort put in by the Salon team. Well done to all.
Thanks also to the members who were on hand to help with the judging process and the hanging and taking down of the Salon exhibition at the library over the last week. Your help is much appreciated!
Just a reminder that our Christmas party this year will be held at the Old Mill pub in Tallaght, on Saturday, December 17th. There will be platters of finger food, drinks and good craic to be had. The price per person is €10 and it should be a fun night. Hope to see
you there!
Finally but certainly not least – Congratulations to Liam Fox, on successfully achieving his Licentiateship from the IPF at the distinction sittings at Athlone Institute of Technology. Liam is a talented photographer and it is great to add him to the ranks of members with IPF distinctions. Well done Liam!
