About....
_____________________________________________________________________
As a result of a notice in the
parish newsletter the Carrigaline Photographic Society
was formed in November 1985.
The Society was set up to promote photography
as an art form. In recent years the majority of members
now use digital medium but there are members producing
Black and white prints, colour prints and slides as well
as members processing and printing their own work.
Being a Photographic Society, the emphasis is on producing
photographic images, therefore, intending members need
not be concerned about type of equipment used or indeed
the need for expensive equipment.
At monthly meetings Society members present
their work for critique and, when the opportunity arises,
the work is exhibited to the public. The most recent exhibition
took place in the new Carrigaline Library in September 2009 and this year being the 25th Anniversary of the founding of
the Society there are quite a few exciting events planned for 2010.
Beginners are welcome and instruction
is given, but most members learn from the interaction
and exchange of ideas between members. Weekend field trips,
and day trips, are organised, as are short workshops by
Society members.
Society membership is open to anybody
over 18 years. If you are considering joining CPS we would invite you to come along to one of our open nights in March or September to find out what the Society is all about.
The Society meets in St. Mary's
Hall beside the Church of Ireland on the Currabinny Road,
Carrigaline on the last Wednesday of each month at 7.45pm.
