New season kicks off for Killarney Camera Club

Published

Killarney Camera Club has launched its new season with a packed schedule of meetings, workshops, competitions and outings.

The club, which welcomes photographers of all levels, meets every second Thursday at 7.30pm in the Anam Arts Centre.

The first competition of the season took place recently, and congratulations go to Ann Kelly, who took first place in both the Novice and Unrestricted categories with her striking photograph “Batik Lesson.”

The image captures two women in Vietnam demonstrating the traditional batik-making process, where molten wax is used to create patterns on fabric before dyeing.

Ann explained that the photo was taken in Cat Cat village, Sapa, Vietnam. “The older woman is wearing the traditional dress of the Black H’mong people, which she made herself from flax grown locally,” Ann said. “She’s showing the process of dyeing fabric using wax, a skill passed down through generations.”

The judges praised Ann’s image for its strong composition, warm tones, and cultural detail.

Anyone interested in photography is invited to come along or visit the club’s website at killarneycameraclub.ie for more details.
