Guest Speakers – Ann Francis , A.I.P.F., E.F.I.A.P. and Vincent Kelly, L.I.P.F.

On Tuesday, 9th January, the Group was given a double treat as we had two speakers for the night, namely Ann Francis and Vincent Kelly, both members of Cork Camera Club.

Ann began the evening by showing us some of her portrait and landscape images. She then went on to show some macro images of flowers and butterflies which were truly amazing. Next, she produced some travel images and told us of her many trips abroad and told the story behind each image. Her love and enthusiasm for photography was evident in every word.

Vincent then stepped up to take the floor to show us his portfolio. His portraits, landscapes, wildlife and travel images were absolutely inspiring. He told us that he often travels abroad with Ann and the Cork Camera Group. He too related stories and showed images of their adventures.

They both spoke of the work they put into their images in post-processing and explained
how some of their composite images were created. The imagination and expertise in the works they create had everybody blown away. As their images were passed around the audience for everyone to see, it was evident that their work was appreciated by one and all.

A thoroughly enjoyable and informative meeting was enjoyed by everyone.
