Manor Kilbride is an incredibly photogenic location during the Autumn months. This year, a group of us from Offshoot Photographic Society visited the area. I used some long exposure techniques to blur the water and to catch some movement in the leaves in the trees. On this particular day, the sky was flat grey, so I tried …
Liffey Descent Race
The Liffey Descent is an annual Canoe Race that is held on the Liffey, with increasing numbers of people taking part annually. This event has been on my to shoot list for the longest time, and I was thrilled to be able to attend this year. I will return, to try to improve on the …

Most clubs have a number of guest speakers over the course of the year, who will explain their specialist field, as well …
