Killarney Camera Club recently held their first competition night of the 2023/2024 season. This was an Open Digital Competition where members could submit any image of their choosing. There were 22 superb entries.

.

Congratulations to Conor Healy who took first place in the Unrestricted category with his winning shot of ‘The Local’.
Conor’s image depicts the well-known Ross Castle at sunset. Conor said “I took this picture on the December, 13, 2021. We were at Ross Castle hoping to catch some nice sunset images. The clouds rolled in so we packed up our gear and just as we reached our car the sky lit up with amazing colours so we ran back and managed to get a couple of shots before the colours faded. I took this shot with my Nikon Z6 and 24-70mm lens.”
New member Elizabeth Browne came first in the Novice category and third in the Unrestricted category with her image of Dunmore Head.
Elizabeth also came third in the Unrestricted category with this same image.
Elizabeth said “This shot is of Dunmore Head, where the rocks lead your eyes through to the last of the evening light breaking through the heavy cloud, was taken at 8pm in early September. I used both a circular polarising filter and a neutral density filter to limit the light coming into my Nikon D7200.”

The club’s next competition night will take place on Thursday December 7 with a theme of Flora and Fauna.
New members are always welcome to join the club. If you would like further information please email secretary@killarneycameraclub.ie .

Students from St Brendan’s College have given €600 to Kerry Hospice.

The money was raised from their book, ‘Futures from the Past’ which was published in April 2024.
Teacher Mary Denise Lyons and students Divo Lucic Kovacevii, Michéal McElligott, and Jaroslav Stetsenko handed over the funds to Cathal Walshe of Kerry Hospice.
‘Futures from the Past’ is a book written by current and retired writers, as well as students from St Brendan’s College.
This donation is the second from the book, with €800 donated last year and €600 this year.
The book was created to allow students to use their imaginations to explore the past and think about the future. It involved students from Poetry Ireland’s Writers-In-Schools Programme and adult learners from Kerry Education & Training Board’s Community Education Creative Writing group.
The book was launched at St Brendan’s College in April last year and was made possible with support from Poetry Ireland and the Arts Office of Kerry County Council.
‘Futures from the Past’ is available for sale at St Brendan’s College for €9.

School Dayz

Transition Year students at Killarney Community College spent last Tuesday learning the skills to become baristas.

They completed a full-day training course and are now qualified to make coffee, which could make them very employable in local cafes and restaurants this summer.
Their teachers, who are described as the school’s “resident coffee experts,” were impressed with the students’ hard work and enjoyed the lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos the students made throughout the day.
In addition to their barista training, the TY students also took a trip to Mallow. There, they learned about the rules of the road, practiced the driver theory test, and many got behind the wheel of a car for the first time. They also learned about the dangers of speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
