Seamus has a keen eye for an interesting angle
Killarney Camera Club's latest theme was 'Low Angle' and again an eclectic range of subjects were photographed and submitted for the January competition.
Many members rose to the challenge with winning images being awarded to Seamus Long in the Unrestricted Category and to Deirdre Donohue in the Novice category.
Seamus gave the following insight into his winning shot.
“I have many photographs of the Eiffel Tower from my many visits to Paris over the years. This time, I wanted to get something out of the ordinary and decided to photograph it from underneath one of the arches to create a dynamic composition. I took the photograph in the evening, just after the artificial lights on the tower were turned on, but with effective natural light still in the sky.”
Winners in the top three in each category were:
Unrestricted category:
1st Place: Seamus Long, Image 15, Eiffel Tower, 175 points
2nd Place: Ade Desbrow, Image 17, Mycena, 173 points
3rd Place: Tina Costigan, Image 11, Tangerine Dreams, 168 points
Novice category:
1st Place: Deirdre Donohue, Image 2, Uprooted, 163 points
Joint 2nd Place: Eamon Fleming, Image 20,
Lola the Showgirl, 161 points
Joint 2nd Place: Eoin Foley, Image 14, Lighting The Way, 161 points
3rd Place: Conor Healy, Image 7, Roches Point Lighthouse, 154 points
