Julia Deady has been named Photographer of the Year by Killarney Camera Club.

The local club held its final competition of the season last week.

Over the course of the year members were invited to submitted photographs of pre-determined themes.

Based on her placings across all seven of the club’s competitions over the years Julia was deemed the winner for the 2024 season.

Her latest creation, a sunrise photograph of the Dolomites, Italy, earned her first place in the Unrestricted category for June.

“It shows the mountains of Compaccio, Saltria, Gioge and Piz with a series of mountain huts in the village of Alpe di Siussi. This region is the highest alpine meadow in Europe, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The mist rolling down from the mountains added to the atmosphere of this incredible region,” she said.

Iryna Halaieva won the Novice of the Year award, while the Most Improved Photographer was Maryann Heidtke.

The Hugh O’Flaherty Memorial Society has confirmed that the exhibition will run from December 16, to January 17, , coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the Killarney priest’s ordination on December 20, 1925.
The display will feature a collection of photographs, artefacts and documents previously exhibited in Killarney, along with several newly sourced historic items.
Organisers say the exhibition will appeal to visitors of all ages, particularly students, as it outlines the life and humanitarian work of the famed cleric, who saved thousands of lives in Rome during World War II.
