Camera club gets back in focus after summer break

By Sean Moriarty
Killarney Camera Club will prepare for its 20th anniversary by hosting an online open night on September 16.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions the club has been unable to meet in person so it is inviting current and potential new members to an online Zoom meeting next Thursday.
Newly appointed club chair Yvette O’Shea will give an outline of activities planned for the year head including details of a special exhibition to mark two decades of the club.
The club’s Photographer of the Year, Keith Johnson will also give a presentation of his work.
“We are delighted to have recently recommenced going on outings taking in Ardfert, the Dingle peninsula and Glanteenassig Park over the summer and finishing with a weekend workshop on the wonderful Dingle peninsula. We are currently planning a weekend visit to our friends in the East Cork Camera Club in late September,” club secretary Anne Kelly told the Killarney Advertiser.
“We run seven themed competitions over the course of the year and the entries are gently critiqued by two experienced members which is a great way to learn how to improve our photos.”
New members should contact secretary@killarneycamerclub.ie and the club will send a Zoom link for the meeting.
Meetings will continue every second Thursday at 7.30 pm from September to June. They will take place online for the time being but the club hopes to return to physical meetings at the Brehon Hotel either later this year or earlier next year.
